Do realise

Realise the agony they go through
Realise, the big task they push through
Along the dreadful path
Under the rain of bullets
Experiencing the crummy hardships
Fighting for ennoble peace
Amount of sacrifices, one would never do
Realise the gravity, all for me and you

Parties, 'thamashas' all around the corner
You look forward for such a glamour
They, in that thick jungle
Struggle in the battle
Ambitiously, to demolish terror
Sleepless nights would make them tremor
Feelings, enjoyments all suppressed
Every attempt to end the bloodshed
The youthful stamina, strength and
bravery

Solid aim to reach the victory
Wash out all debris of the warfare
As citizens all must be aware
All for you and me

They hug the children in that territory
Spreading that warmth, affection, equally
Oozing tears remind the own family
Not seen for ages
Made up minds, never to be depressed
Their courageous hearts make
them march fast
To fulfil the mission, with great zest
They are the heroes promptly act
Never criticize
Praise them, pray for them for the
golden service
As guardians to the whole nation
