We are celebrating!
We are celebrating, today
the valour, the honour, the dignity
of those who shed their blood
on the battlefield
that cries their stories.
We are celebrating, again
the day, the war, the victory
which we achieved
two entire decades ago,
of the crevices that whoops their pride
boldly and joyfully.
We are celebrating them
those who stood
on the arena of war
fearless, determined and powerful
as the bullets grazed past them,
others that pierced through their bodies
and the blood laden figures
that laid on the Kargil land.
We are celebrating, those
who returned home
wrapped in the shroud
the tiranga
that rested heavily around.
We are celebrating,
the shrill screams
loud but incoherent
of the families who lost their beloved.
We are celebrating,
the vacancies they held in their heart
for the men, the sons
who martyred for the country.
We are celebrating,
the fear with which
the mothers prayed
for the wards they sent away
on a mission, that was courageous.
We are celebrating,
the grievances of the group
that must have huddled close
to mourn the ones
they, us, we all lost
The triumph, dear to us
was indeed brought back
And here we are
sitting tight
celebrating today, again!
