The Icon of Heroes- Maharana Pratap

His name is evoked with boundless esteem By the strata of generations down the ages The prodigious son of our holy motherland Who embodied valour and chivalry to the hilt. He could have lead a princely life of comfort By conceding the honour of his blessed land But happily chose a life similar to his terrain Instead of beating the same refrain like peers. He embodied all that stands for grit and nerve Inspired the masses by an outstanding example Sent shivers down the spine of the adversaries And won admiration even from his sworn foes. His form awe-inspiring stays etched in minds Reviving the memories of his sacrifice great That arouses the most weak and low-spirited Infuses the spirit with verve and vim; enviable. Even today he is revered as a symbol of bravery With very few peers to match his place in history He strode like a colossus on the sands of time The Maharana is worthy of salute for all time. Till his last breath he worshiped his motherland A crest jewel among all valiant warriors of the land He the great, his loyal Chetak, the gallant steed To all such immortals, we all owe our gratitude.
