Indian Army And Its Valour

Arms, ammo or bare hands

Terrains, Champaign or barren sands

Dawn to dusk, I hope

Comes a chance, I put up a sacrifice

I lay for her, protecting her edifice

A proud father, an anxious mother

For a child born theirs but taken away

Not by force, but by choice

For filial duties are important but can wait

Motherland is uncompromised, that's my fate

In the bunker, I sat still

A thunderous roar, comes a shell

It bore the list, the names unknown

An in-fight ensued, a martyr in the making

Spirits as strong as ever, body forsaking

Draped in the tricolor, I reached home

Guns still blazing but it's guard of honour

Eulogies abound, discontent still loomed

A bullet more if I could have endured

An enemy more if I cud have sheared
