The True Patriot...

When we peacefully sleep at our homes leading happy lives,

They are martyred at the frontier leaving behind families and widowed wives!

Living in drastic conditions, of luxuries they themselves deprive,

When questioned, happily they voice ,'For India's pride, we strive!'

When farmers relentlessly plough,

Providing us 24x7, without raising a brow,

On meagre facilities they survive,

When questioned, happily they voice ,'For India's pride, we strive!'

When children in government schools study in the streetlight,

Tackling the frigid weather through the night,

Continuously aiming to thrive,

When questioned, happily they voice ,'For India's pride, we strive!'

When industry and science scale new peaks,

Bringing India her winning streaks,

The key people who make our economy revive,

When questioned, happily they voice ,'For India's pride, we strive!'

When in corona times we are faced with uncertainty,

With huge loss of lives and ambiguity,

The frontline workers then contrive,

When questioned, happily they voice ,'For India's pride, we strive!'

When there is a wrong to a right,

Every Indian is ready to fight,

Then as a nation we come alive,

Quoting ,'For India's pride, we do and will always strive!'
