The notable royal horse called Chetak,
ridden by 16th century ruler Maharana Pratap,
found place in the annals of Rajputana history
as the valiant and loyal blue horse.
When Akbar’s mighty mughal army attacked
the kingdom of Mewar, and a fierce battle raged
in the canyon of Haldighati of the Aravalli range,
where Pratap rode Chetak to fight the enemy.
Chetak got wounded in the midcourse and
feeling he might fall anytime in the battlefield,
he jumped over a stream, took Pratap to safety
before he succumbed to the injury, died a hero.

Maharana was great,he has patriotic spirit,
When he was a child,he was brave , desperate
He knows all weapon's he has played with thems,
He was different from all of children's.
All enemy's scared of him,hides like silly cricket.
when he was growing up,
. he wants to buy a horse,
who is mighty and running fast,
somebody come to sale him two horses,
. He wants to test both forces ,
. Ones able to run faster than air,
second have power to jump higher,
but maharana pratap never be unfair,
he has test the honesty of both horces,
he fixed there lags under of earth,
for testing who's worth,
he calls both horses with name,
help me chatak help viren.
the frist horse not trying to come out for him ,
but chatak jumps like he has wings ,
rana choose chatak for lifetime ride,
maharana and chatak is our pride.
maharana and chatak have a strong friendship,
because both of them have patriotic spirit.

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.
