A Symbol of Courage, Sacrifice and Freedom – Our Father of the Nation

You stand as the living form of courage,
The embodiment of an unshaken will,
One who gave life to the very meaning
Of sacrifice and unwavering truth.

For the dream called freedom,
You became the breathing guide,
A sacred flame guarding a people’s identity,
A light forever kindled in our hearts.

Untainted by deceit,
Flawless in integrity,
With honour that never bowed
And bravery that never trembled —
These became your lasting legacy.

Upon a path where fear dared not follow,
You walked the way of justice,
Carrying within your soul
The strength to break the chains of oppression.

As the symbol of our nation,
As the pillar of our hope,
You remain a timeless history
Embraced by generations yet to come.

Courage, Sacrifice, Freedom —
You are the united form of all three,
Our Father of the Nation,
An undying pride of the Tamil people.
