I sobbed to hear,
My realm is full of tears,
But brave were those,
21 Sikhs fought without any fear.
Battle of Saragarhi it is known,
Where 10,000 Afghans were shown,
But courageous were those,
21 Sikhs fought to defend their zone.
Haughton said no immediate relief,
For moment they might be in grief,
But spirited were those,
21 Sikhs fought to guard their belief.
The soldier’s purpose is to fight,
But 10,000 on 21 was so light,
But feisty were those,
21 Sikhs fought to make it so tight.
Afghanis asked them to surrender,
Breached the fort and blunder,
But gutsy were those,
21 Sikhs fought and became splendor.
One by one, hand to hand, all down,
Pashtuns were annoyed to see this round,
But energetic were those,
21 Sikhs fought to become king without crown.
Jo Bole So Nihal, Sat Sri Akal,
They were brave so they stood tall,
But brilliant were those,
21 Sikhs fought till their last fall.
Surely Afghans had upper hand,
Army was big and grand
But dazzling were those,
21 Sikhs who fought 10,000 till their last stand.
