They had nothing to give
To their motherland
Except their mortal lives
So they gave it cheerfully
Without a second thought
To see her wrinkled smile
These road on which we stand today
Were built upon layers of stone
And skulls of warriors great
This freedom wasn’t free
Of cost. Their debt we must pay.
Each and every day.
Two brothers fought
None won
Both lost
Freedom exacted a dear cost
As the clock struck twelve
On that August day
From heaven the martyrs cried
Their dream
Their struggle
For which they died
Was finally realized
The dawn was breaking
It was history in making
The charkha of time had turned
After so many years
A nation was waking
Up
