Immortal beings

(A Poem dedicated to  our brave jawans martyred in terrorist attacks)

                                 -Rachit Bhavsar

Oh great defenders of my nation

You are great warriors of my land

Protecting its every length and breadth

You gave your all for its very best.

Guns and war your very delight

The nation stands tall at sky’s height

Days and night spent in enemy’s fight

Nation’s peace your solemn right.

A nation sleeps you remain awake

In the fearful nights of enemy’s toil

Braving cold winds and the mighty floods

You make the enemy fear in plight.

Standing at the borders  sea and in the air

Your voice unites one and all

You fall down and lay your lives

To keep our flag  flying high

In the skies of tommorow’s rising dawn

The dawn of prosperity for one and all.

Turmoil and sacrifice thee not go in vain

Call of bravehearts heard  far and wide

In the dust of the mountain s and flow of the rivers

Standing tall glaciers echoing your glory

Voice of the cuckoo singing hymns of courage

Rising sun breaking the silence of the night

 My nation embarks on its journey again.

Oh almighty I pray for thee

Bless those immortal souls who laid their wreath

Their only cause  being nation’s pride

For they shall be tommorow’s guiding light

I bow to thee with head held high

Immortal souls shining like stars in the sky.
