The phrase “Aayz Tujho Khoop Khoop Ugdas Yeylo,” translated as “Your departure has caused so much pain,” is a poignant line featured in a kavita (poem) written by activist Shankar Poliji. The poem is a tribute to the late Father Bismarck Aayz, reflecting on his life and work in Goa. Father Bismarck was widely respected for his contributions to the Goan community, particularly his efforts in social justice and environmental activism.

The kavita, shared during a memorial or remembrance event, highlights the profound impact Father Bismarck had on his followers, his dedication to the welfare of the people, and the void left by his passing. Poliji’s poetic expression of loss resonates deeply within the Goan community, paying homage to a figure who was seen not only as a priest but as a guiding force for many​.
