Glory of Nation
Glory of Nation
It is not the prestigious high buildings and monuments,
Where the Glory of a nation lives.
It is not the glittering roads and hanging long bridges,
It is not the beautiful parks, garden and lakes,
It is not the high mountain peaks, fields and plains,
It is not the green forests and beautiful rivers,
It is not the treasure of gold, diamonds and uranium,
It is also not the huge army, arsenals, space ships and atomic weapons,
Where the Glory of a nation lives
It lives only in the mind and hearts of its free citizens,
Where love for one’s Nation is a pride of one’s possession,
Where money has not become, the ultimate goal of living,
And Greed has not made a hole, in the hearts of its citizens,
Where one feels happy and ever ready to make sacrifices,
For the cause of it's Nation.
There my friend, there only, you can witness and see,
The Glory of a Nation burning like a light,
In the hearts of every citizen,
But it gets dim and diminishes one day,
Where its people want to celebrate, its one time glory only.
