Soil's Fragrance Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Soil's fragrance
Monday,1st October 2018

Let me take birth
and face the death
in each life
when the country is torn with strife

life is not important
but the situation prevailing at present
we are prepared to lay down lives
and firmly believe in the sacredness of the holy land

what a chance for the country's defense?
when dark clouds become dense
and hoverthe horizon
threatening our land and freedom

what feelings do I have?
only self-sacrifice to give
and add color to the country's image
and devotionally manage

The country has the only fragrance
to flourish and spread the love at once
its soil instills the devotional theme
and die for the country as the whole team
