26/1

On the snow covered mountain 

I was sleeping like a statue.

Like the garland with various
Colorful fragrant flowers

The young lady came before my eyes:

Seen her lowered beautiful face,

Seen its saffron color,

Seen her sorrowful cheeks,

And seen the marks of flowing tears.

Seeing her state, quivered:

"Mother, Oh Mother !" 

Knowing her tearful condition,
Along with her,

wept the moon, wept the sky,

Colorful flowers were in tears,

Crying music and wept the forest.

" If you say the reason for your weeping,

We, the young men can help you.

We will call everybody 

Decorate the entire city 

Drive the chariot,

And take you in a procession

Tell the reason, please tell me."

The young lady raised her head

And told :

"I sincerely stood in search of peace,

Wanted the perennial flow of love

Kept open my heart

From Himaly to Kanyakumari .

"To quench their hunger

Thinking the whole world would come,

With variety of food and fruits

And pure milk

I invited everybody .

"Out of the ten people

who came to quench their hunger,

There came one,

 To quench his enmity

And commit the sin.

What I can say ?  

"Whom I killed ?

Whose family I destroyed ?

If carrying the good-will is the sin

That I have committed."

I heard all what she said

Then came dashing strength in my body
and overwhelming confidence in my heart."

"We are the brave soldiers
With strong shoulders
And have the sound knowledge,
Superior technology and warfare

To win and claim the victory.
Above all we are virtuous
And have the virtuous commanders.

Oh Mother !
Your loving sons
With affection, patriotism 
Duty and discipline
We are there, don't worry."

Bharat Matha smiled:
In that fragrant patriotic smile, 
Closed my eyes and I lost myself deep
In the brave war imagination.

HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY.

Strength and Unity are
Necessary factors,
While bargaining Peace with neighbors 
or with any country.
