A son of this land

A perfect day-

A perfect sunshine,

Radiance traversing…

The leaves and the branches,

Butterflies fluttering…

This wind ambling through…

The flag that kept his soul-

Alive!

His body laid on this land…

Where he fought valiantly-

Until his last breath bid him-

Adieu…

A son of this land!

He is-

A martyr!

Author's Note

I dedicate this poem to Lt Col Niranjan Kumar and others who fought valiantly in Pathankot attack, India. I salute them on behalf of Nepal.
