Eulogizing the King of Stripes: The Tragic Fate of the North-east Indian Tiger

In the forests of North-east India, once roamed
A mighty beast, the king of all its kin.
With stripes of gold and eyes that brightly shone,
His roar resounded, echoing within.

Yet now, this noble creature meets his end,
Extinct, a victim of man's cruel hand.
No longer shall he roam, no longer bend
His head in pride, a ruler of the land.

We mourn his passing, this tiger's demise,
For he was more than just a fearsome beast.
He symbolized the strength of nature's ties,
The balance of life, a wondrous feast.

Assamese literature echoes this plight,
A tribute to the tiger's noble might.

From "Bishnu Rabha's Abhijan" to "Padum Pukhuri",
Assamese writers paint a picture bright,
Of tigers prowling through the night,
With grace and power, an awe-inspiring sight.

And yet, despite these tales of tiger's might,
Man's greed has driven them to their death.
Their habitat destroyed, their numbers shrinked,
Their roar now silent, a fading breath.

Let us, in memory of these creatures grand,
Promise to protect their fragile land.
Let us honor their legacy, and take a stand,
Against the forces that threaten to end their reign.

For though the tiger's gone, its spirit lives,
A symbol of all that nature gives.

So let us pay a eulogy, a tribute true,
To this fallen beast, a king of all its kind.
For though his body may be gone, his spirit shines,
A legacy that we must all seek to find.

For as we reflect upon the tiger's fall,
Let us vow to protect the nature's call.
Let us remember this magnificent beast,
And ensure that his legacy will never cease.

And in the forests of North-east India,
His roar will live on, a triumph of life.
For though he may no longer roam, his legacy
Will remain, a symbol of strength and strife.

So let us honor this fallen king,
And vow to protect all that nature brings.
Let us cherish his memory, and sing
A eulogy for the death of tigers in North-east India's kingdom.
