A Soldier View
I am a soldier born to serve my nation;
I serve my motherland with full dedication.
I don’t know what are intolerance and discrimination;
I guard the borders so that you can sleep without any hesitation.
I don’t do this in the name of any race, creed, or religion, any differentiation;
I am only to serve my country with full determination.
I feel proud even to die for my great nation;
Thinking of dying for my country gives me immense satisfaction.
I don’t want to be in headlines or in discussions on any primetime news;
I want my fellow citizens to be broad-minded without any narrow views.
I may even die tomorrow knowing nobody can take my place in my family,
But if I don’t get ready to die, nobody can ever enjoy his independence freely.
