The martyred Son
Don't get me wrong,
I didn't feel so strong.
That bullet gave my chest a pain,
That I shall never bear again.
Yes I left this turf untimely,
But I did that for my Indian family.
My mother might be weeping today,
That's all I could give her away.
But tell her that I love her the most,
And that her son lost his life, battling the host.
This pain that I feel in my heart,
Doesn't make my country thwart.
Because martyrs are those sons,
Who leave behind a message for tons.
