MELLOW

 



MELLOW

Trickling tears running down,

Oozes smile, eyes outpouring,

Evident happiness and joyous,

Countryside panoramic dance,

 

Receding floods, rain, thunder,

Yellowing green paddy fields,

Spring arriving messages crisp,

Happy land today, freedom live,

 

Fear was stalking, vast country,

Stitched lips, horror was visible,

Imprisoned groundless shifted,

Black waters, island, confined,

 

Lost trace of name missing a lot,

Hanged for flying tricolor singing,

Singing glorious nation chained,

Dedicate life land to be liberated,

 

Do or die, fight slavery, serfdom,

Aware of darkness melting earn,

Fear of death no more horrible,

Moving to gallows n discernible,

 

Ghost of past simmering remind,

Generations missing time erased,

Simple orthodox pure life wished,

Children in land free democratic,

 

Visible prosperity unity fraternity,

Cementing growth, industrious lot,

Bountiful grain output farming nit,

Peasant once poor flourishing well,

 

Girl child no more school dropout,

Healthy, life hygienic get educated,

Equal rights, no dowry, bride burning,

Self-respect due claim responsibility,

 

Honorable judge apex-court deserve,

Highest-post in the country, president,

A leading force in defense sports merit,

Strengthening motherland fearless,

 

Youth now brick of achieving nation,

Omen of future illustrative inspiring,

Shining glory scholars are developing,

Nation, today mightier bold secure,

 

Winning gold in sport, art, science,

Illustrative engineering technology,

Medicine Yoga iconic unicorn a lot,

Rising population youth monument,

 

Assures great democracy flag bearer,

Fight capable on every front fearless,

Twilight years of life, I feel happy tears,

Mellowing emotive years solace wins,

 

Once young deprived of modern tools,

Unbelievable in our time skilled now,

Internet, cyberspace, online works,

Miniaturized mobile transforms life,

 

Frontline my land stands admirable,

Economic growth silver line glowing,

Highways, rail lines, communication,

Air travel is busiest at present growing,

 

Green energy to cottage industry hot,

Forests water conservation forefront,

Clean air, water, checking pollution,

Building new cities light imagination,

 

Plurality in language culture customs,

Cemented by constitution n equality,

Democracy preserves religions plural,

Practicing jovially poetic lives, cultural,

 

Never touch hatred brewing hideous,

Evil still exist once caused partition,

Violent community fighting bloodier,

Forgetting all sacrifices of forefathers,  

 

United they fought, won the battle lit,

Their spirit crying blowing wind sings,

Countryside mellow sacred moment,

Ishwar Allah Tera Naam is reminiscent,

 

Hay Ram, fallen Bapu once again feel,

Lift His immortal spirit, unite to kneel,

Land first faith personal later promise,

Tricolor flutters a beautiful mellow rise.
