For the troops that were stationed…
It was an aurora after a long night
And the nation was emblazoned
With the triumph of a long fight
Our comeback was greeted
With salutes and embrace
But, it was not the lauding ballads
That made my heart pace.
I stood tranquil and watched as a mother cried
When she ascertained her son had died.
He didn’t die because he was sick
He didn’t die because he was in a wreck
The dauntless son volunteered to be picked by death…
As, death came for his comrades but, he played a trick.
I espied a father trying to hold back his tears
As he yearned for his son to live few more years.
He kneeled before the grave and said a prayer
And the valiant son knows, his father did care
His son was martyred thousand miles away…
Fending the nation where no one would dare.
My knees did crumble to see the bride lament
As she pined for conjugal time not spent.
Petrified she sat, peeping through the window
Biding to see him lurking in some shadow
Her partner was crucial in saving million brides…
But the victory for the nation had made her a widow.
I was stunned by a sister’s howls of pain
As she denied that her brother was slain.
Waving a chocolate at her brother she teased
As she didn’t realise the quarrels had eternally ceased
The gallant soldier had convinced the tyrants to flee…
But who will convince her, her brother was deceased.
I know, some day, I will be brought back on shoulders
My kin have to fill their heart with boulders.
My heart still roars to bulwark the frontier
To fend off the wolves and protect the deer
I crave to be draped in national flag, some day…
And I beg my dearest to sacrifice their tears.
“I crave to be draped in national flag, some Day
And I beg my dearest to sacrifice their tears.”
gr8t work man.
