"Soldier" written by then Crown Prince Dipendra
Left bonds of affection, having duly understood
If needed in blood, be ready to fight I will
To flames reduce, will lightening halt
Spray with blood I will
On this uniform, the country's "Sindur"
Shake the earth I will.
From an article in the Indian Express:
Soldier happens to be just one of the several poems where Dipendra speaks passionately of the need to draw blood with uncanny consistency the thread runs across his other poems as well. From a poem titled "O Mother" he dutifully begins - "O, Mother Show us what to do and we'll fulfill.." but by the fifth stanza the martial streak emerges
In this chest a flame burns
Nepali Strength aglow
To build a nation will toil on
Till the blood does flow
