stays etched in my mind
when the brutal British rule
came to a grind.
India rose from the ashes, the time stood still
entry into a new era
people ushered in free air
the moment captured in a virtual camera.
As the clock ticked along
India evolved,
new leaders, new challenges
gradually resolved.
We fought our dreary neighbors
curbed their ambitions
but , in the will to succeed
forgot our traditions.
With the population explosion
grew our demand
the country with its depleted resources
enroute to development, came a withstand.
Decades gone by,
the golden days of yore
the ‘sone ki chidiya’ ; our nation
does not sustain it any more.
Are we really independent
my mind thinks
with millions under poverty line
the government hardly blinks.
Seeing the India of their dreams,
the martyrs weep
to see the nation they won with blood
go down deep and deep.
There is no doubt that
we have made our stride
our land has bred heroes
who proliferate our pride.
But is that copious
to mark our independence
celebrating cricket victories and flying kites
has become a good riddance.
Freedom is not a mere slave
Of the rich and the elite
Every Indian has his right on it
It’s a national feat.
Lets all come together
to forge an oath
we will have zero tolerance policy
This 15th August
lets redefine independence day
allowing the gloom prevailing
eradicated by a ray.
Ray of zeal and belief
like never before
to instill in every Indian
like never before
to instill in every Indian
the everlasting roar.
Wo udti huyi patange bhi bol uthe,
udne do zara hume aur upar
likhe hum is watan ka naam
un roshan sitaaron par...
udne do zara hume aur upar
likhe hum is watan ka naam
un roshan sitaaron par...
