Farewell Ambassador farewell
Sad that you are leaving foreign service fold
But thank you for telling your tale
Your parting wisdom is pure gold
Please keep radiating light
Even if you have retired
Share your thoughts day and night
Diplomatic fraternity is never tired
The wannabes will closely follow
Your path lit up with golden sun-rays
Remember,wherever you go
Share memories of your diplomatic days
Now light the path of your countrymen
With your acquired wisdom and acumen.

Remember,wherever you go
Share memories of your diplomatic days
Now light the path of your countrymen
With your acquired wisdom and acumen.
