BALIDAN STAMBH JAMMU

A well perceived and designed stambh

Meticulously crafted balidan stambh

Everybody knows even deaf and dumb.

A magnificent stambh stands tall

Reminding and refreshing fading memories of us all.

Of those who sacrificed their yesterday

For our glistening better today

They were the martyrs of yesterday .

By the way who is a martyr

He who never cooperates with death.

Go to death in a way that he is not trying to escape

Such a person is the martyr of that day.

Their names are engraved on the wall of fame

All along the balidan stambh wall you will find their names.

They all have done us proud

Beyond any doubt.

And equally done proud to the nation

A nation's beautiful creation

Without any aberrations.

They were sincere and dedicated

Loved their nation the most

And were disciplined of course.

Balidan stambh stands tall

A monumental military heritage symbol

A famous tourist spot

Carries the names of all.

Names of all those

Who rose .

What for ?

To fight tooth and nail

Won the war and didn't fail.

They made supreme sacrifice

Remain alive in the hearts of all , that's why.

Fallen soldiers message to all

" We go , you live but hold honor of the nation uppermost

Our sacrifice is an inspiration for further generations all must know.

Each drop of blood of a martyr is for the BELOVED NATION of course "

search for Myself

I wandered everywhere, searching for myself outside.

But when I finally looked within,

I felt no need to look outward anymore.

And yet, I stepped out again-

not to discover who I am,

but to explore the world around me,

now that I already know myself.
