Home they brought our forty six warriors dead
Most carried home after piecing shred by shred
The nation watches in shock and impotent rage
Proxy war that our uncharitable neighbors wage
'Kadi ninda' and 'dastardly act' make us all sick
A dagger in the neck, country is cut to the quick
Besotted with Gandhian ideas not worth a dime
This nincompoop nation lives on borrowed time
Legacy of Shiva, Pratap and Guru Gobind is lost
Emasculated nation keeps paying exorbitant cost
Invitation to the prime minister of neighbor hostile
While death by a thousand cuts remains our style
Article 370 keeps creating a state within a state
Quislings massacre us at will, maim and mutilate
A soft nation becomes for every vile a fair game
We've returned terrorists to hijackers sans shame
For long we have tried being all things to all men
Unjust peace with enemy remains beyond our ken
Emulate Savarkar and forget Gandhi for some time
Retribution and revenge for each abhorrentcrime
The time is for 'Gagan Damama', not 'Vaishnav Jan'
Rest not till the foe is totally dismembered and done
The nation wants its vengeance quick and complete
Stop living on knees, we would rather die on our feet
