Kargil

The snow-capped mountains Pristine white and serene.  None expected an attack,  But fatal it was when it happened.    Our heroes in white and green,  Always alert, ready to move,  Sprang into action immediately,  Neutralizing the enemy was their only priority. ...

कार्गिल

बर्फ से ढकी कार्गिल की चोटी बारिश गिरती मोती की भाँति। इन्हें चूमता गुज़रे अंबर कार्गिल, हो तुम, अति सुंदर। चाँद पे दाग समान घुसपैठियों ने किया वार। भारत के माथे पर लगी गोली, और शहीदों से भर गई कार्गिल की झोली। खून से लथ-पथ माँ की रक्षा में निकल पड़े उसके वीर हर्ष में।...

Mountains of Kargil

Mountains of Kargil, so calm, serene War unseen. Enemies entered to take control, An evil goal. Our warriors armed, ready to fight, Guns held tight. Snow, storm, terrains, didn't bother them quite, They bravely fought to save their land, Supremacy they did command,...
