Starting his training period drenches in sweat
Trains his body to achieve the target, the trainers set
Even under the toughest training, he is calm, never agitate
He knows that he is the country’s hero at the time of threat
Takes a vow to guard the country as a soldier
Leaving behind their family, younger and older
No matter he is posted to a place warmer or colder
Without a second thought, he is there to take the order
Walk days and months with loads of bullets and gun
Facing the worst enemies it the battle field, they never run
Never gives up or surrenders to the enemy even at the state of stun
He never will lose the country to the enemy as the country’s true son
Even if in the battlefield he dies
With a gun in his hand, brave and stubborn he lies
His reverent soul from his cold body will gradually rise
Saluting to the body lying on the battlefield, smiles and flies
To the soldiers who are true and brave
Power, wealth and comfort who never crave
The whole country pays respect with gunshot in grave
As the legendary hero, their names in the museums they engrave
