1
Bodies battered and minds shattered;
They carried on 'coz Victory mattered

#KargilVijayDiwas

2
The heights stay frozen, not with ice;
But by their blood and sacrifice

#KargilVijayDiwas

3
Sons and fathers, like you and me;
Conquered the peaks and set them free

#KargilVijayDiwas

4
Too many did we lose, too many did we bleed;
But they cared not for their own need

#KargilVijayDiwas

5
Fight they did till their last breath out;
Without a question, nor a doubt

#KargilVijayDiwas

6
Tear soaked letters did their families receive;
Written a few hours before battle-eve

#KargilVijayDiwas

7
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

8
Because the son came later, after a lag;
Enclosed in a coffin, draped in the Flag

#KargilVijayDiwas

9
Forget them not, nor their deeds of yore;
They must be made a folklore

#KargilVijayDiwas

10
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

11/11
Bodies battered and minds shattered;
They carried on because Victory mattered ..
