National War Memorial

A newly built monument, National War Memorial ,in capital shows,
number of gallant soldiers, since independence we lost.

central obelisk along flame of eternity, symbolize amarta aka immortality,
coz living in countless hearts, after sacrificing lives, is far from mortality.

six bronze murals in a gallery, represent veerta aka soldiers' bravery,
coz staying high and fronting munitions, for tricolor, is an act non-ordinary.

granites with carved names on wall of honour, depict tyag aka sacrifice,
coz remembering those, who forgo family for nation , one single day is not suffice.

rows of trees in outers represent soldiers, reassure us raksha aka protection,
coz in difficulties, inner or outer, they are the ones who turn direction.

house with busts of twenty one soldiers, all paramvir aka ultimate braves,
coz in war times, by showing valor, kept national flag ahead religions and lives.

now knowing our freedom owes to their sacrifice and audacity,
we call it "Temple Of Martyrs" or "Temple Of Unity".
