A Tribute to the fallen Heroes
“This poem pays homage to the 44 CRPF personnel who were martyred in Pulwama falling victim to a plot executed by the terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohammed which involved a car ramming into the CRPF convoy carrying over 150 kilograms of explosives which resulted in a massive explosion.”
Two scores of our brothers have fallen today,
Falling victim to a plot meant to cause affray.
This black day will be forever embedded in our hearts,
’Cause the loss hit us like darts.
The Nation fell under a spell of grief of uncertainty,
Bringing among us a state of unity.
The price is too massive for us to bear,
The faulters are not the ones to spare.

But to wait patiently for an unprecedented verdict.
Te following days will be full of vagaries,
For the families clung to only memories.
The moment had arrived to bid Goodbye,
And strive not to cry;
For they are soldiers born to die.
“When you go home, tell them of us and say
For their tomorrow, we gave our today.”
