Our Mother

 Long live mother India!

 

The mother who lost her noble sons,

At the bloody diversionary battles of Plassey and Buxar.

 

The one who blithely starved:

To give a frugal meal to her sons who worked hard!

 

She who bear, the torture of the labors,

And braced their bodies with Jager -

Never worried to revolt against the 'White Sahibs'.

 

She was our mother!

 

Who gave birth to our national gems,

Ready to sacrifice their lives to free our mother immured by them.

 

She came forward and put self-made 'Khadi' on her chest,

But never fear of getting a bullet in her chest!

 

She was our mother who never fright!

 

Finally, they were thrown out;

And our mother raised her flag with pride,

She made the dreams of every Indian right.

 

Long live mother India!

Long live her pride!
