❝Vacate the throne, for the people now arise, The age is turning, and a new dawn greets the skies. From this nation's soil we are born and made, In this very soil, our lives must someday fade.❞
❝Stop not Yudhishthira here — let him journey to heaven above, But return to us the Gandiva-bow, bring back Arjun and Balram's love. Kauravs and Pandavas were one, even today one lineage they share, But what stands before us calls — let us perform patriotism's prayer.❞
❝I shall light the lamp of my very life's flame, As long as darkness grips this land's domain. I will not stop, bend, or tire along the way — This is the land of heroes — my home I'll defend this day.❞
❝Dogs receive milk and clothing, hungry children writhe in pain, Clinging to their mother's bones, they endure the winter's bitter bane. A young woman's dignity is sold, yet no one's hunger fades, Speaking of religion in this swamp, without wet eyes, one never aids.❞
❝Forgiveness becomes the cobra that carries its venom within, What use forgiveness in one toothless, mild, and free of sin. Both strength and mercy together give life its grace and glow, Otherwise the meekness of the weak means nothing, high or low.❞
❝I do not wish to be woven into a heavenly maiden's ornaments, nor strung into a lover's garland to tempt my beloved, pluck me instead, O gardener, and cast me upon that path, where many brave warriors go to offer their heads to the motherland.❞
