For the motherland

Monday,1st Ju;y 2019

 

The country is yours

so, keep no fears

keep ears and eyes open

and stay happily driven

 

No amount of sacrifice can be compared

for the motherland to be  defended

sing for the praise of the country

and seek happiness from an almighty

 

no oppression must be tolerated

and always resisted

with all the might and strength

even if that demands hundreds of the deaths

 

mountains and rivers may speak

that we were never weak

but struck to the honor of the holy land

at the same time stood as true friends

 

we created no hate boundary

and tried to grab a piece of the territory

we have remained peaceful

and shall continue to remain purposeful

 

O Lord, grant us peace and prosperity

for my beloved country

and the people residing with pride

allow them the destiny to decide
