Swatantryaveer Savarkar Poems

O Ocean, take me back to my Motherland
My soul in so much torment be! ||Dhru.||
Lapping worshipfully at my mother's feet
So always I saw you
...

Tiger, croc, snake, lion, one n' all predatory
Man survives on earth by the might of weaponry
Holds Shri Ram a bow, a chakra Shri Krishna Hari
To protect the oppressed, even the Gods wield weaponry
...

How did these Foreign devils
Invade your home, O Mother?
Was it, perhaps, not an invasion at first
‘Twere I who brought them thither?
...

Woe is me, oh Bhagat Singh, oh
For us today to the gallows you go
Woe is me, oh Rajguru, oh!
O Brave One, battling in the national war you go!
...

"Oh how you pamper them all day
Polishing them over and over.
What, are these fetters or
Ornaments of gold and silver? "
...

Without beginning nor end am I, inviolable am I.
Vanquish me? In this world no such enemy is born!

Resolutely, as the Upholder of Dharma,
...

Hindustan, our very own Motherland!
To us Hindus she's life and our very soul.

Magnificent holy abode she is
...

Savarkar composed this poem in Ratnagiri in 1932.
Hark, O Past, O you petrified Present! Avail
The portent, the coming colossal calamity,
The Hindu Race is forging forward to fight! Hail!
...

Come, O Death, come! Having set forth
To get me, gladly come you may!
Let these flowers fear to wither and die,
Let these juicy grapes dread to shrivel and die,
...

To see my God in his temple
Allow me, I beseech.
Let my eyes have their fill of Him
Please, O please.
