Republic Day Greetings To You...

Because our Armed Forces guard our land, soundly we can sleep.
Thank you for this I earnestly do, with gratitude deep.

Brave, hardworking, courageous and dedicated to the core,
To protect Mother India all the time you are at the fore.

Salute you, Armed Forces, with respect deep, I do.
About your monetary and living conditions, I often rue.

On Republic Day, greetings unto each one of you I send.
On Shaheed Day, my hands I fold in prayer and my head I bend.

Jai Hind. Happy Indian Republic Day!
