O’ Soldier

Blasting sun, avalanches or

chilly snowfall and descent heat

never he ceases, may it be the

dunes or the high showers, stands

like a wall, no malice,  no fear

and no regret, even takes bullets on

bravely for his country's pride.

Seasons or reasons, cause or policy

never deter, bother or disturb his

constancy, he fights for others

sacrificing his youth and energy

what love motivates him to death?

Salutations, O’ brave, for the

wounds you embrace, we pray

for your safety, for sure you

will return with honour to your

loved ones, who lit the lamp

of love for your homecoming .
