Too many did we lose, too many did we bleed;
But they cared not for their own need
#KargilVijayDiwas
Tear soaked letters did their families receive;
Written a few hours before battle-eve
#KargilVijayDiwas
Each letter has a story to tell, each word worth its weight in gold;
O how lucky they are, if only they could be told
#KargilVijayDiwas
Because the son came later, after a lag;
Enclosed in a coffin, draped in the Flag
#KargilVijayDiwas
For it is the least we can do for those who died;
With the flag in the mind, and the rifle by their side
#KargilVijayDiwas
Bodies battered and minds shattered;
They carried on because Victory mattered ..
#KargilVijayDiwas
