Pancholi Nandlal Kanjibhai - Footprints on Unknown Seashores lyrics

I have not shaken hands with celebrities on stages In dazzling razzmatazz of light and sound Nor have bowed my head to kings seeking accolades for my art But have met nondescript men in mofussil towns Whose footprints on unknown sea shores Shall not be wiped off even by stormy winds- I have not lined up to garland MPs on their vain trip to their constituency Never have I been present during demagogues euphoric addresses But have listened with rapt attention Symphony of songs sung by shepherds I have never wasted my inks in praise of emperors But have showered flowers of admiration on artists And for the rights of unsung heroes For ever shall I fight
