Netaji

"I lost you forever even before my birth

but I found you within me,

in the core of my existence,

setting my soul free.

I have never seen you with my eyes

but I have seen you through my soul;

A springing tiger, a braveheart on whom

even death could not take its toll!

The world bows to you, O invincible Prince!

Even now, while you're resting in your mother's womb!

My lament echoes in the cemetery of my losses

The resonance is the hardest in your tomb.

Can't you see the apathy of thousands?

We needed you for our redemption and we always will.

Your shadow looms large. My heart knows you exist. 

This void in our lives, someday, your reincarnation will fill."
