The Rider of Blue Horse
The Rider of Blue Horse
Maharana Pratap, the ruler of Mewar
Had a horse named Chetak
Who was tall and blue in colour and only
Allowed Maharana Pratap to sit on him.
He was very faithful and loyal
And took part in many wars.
Even in his last war he was seriously injured with one hind leg dangling .
But still then he did not care about his life
And in order to take Maharana to safety
Jumped through a twenty-five feet deep trough and died there on the spot.
He ensured that Maharana was safe
Before breathing his last breath!
The bravery and loyalty of this great horse is sung in the form of ballads.
Maharana Pratap, called as the
Rider of blue horse
Had cried like a child after the sad demise of his beloved horse.
As long as the name of
Maharana Pratap is taken on Earth,
People would remember Chetak's name
As the Blue Horse of Maharana.
