ON THE WAY TO THE GALLOWS By: Kartar Singh Sarabha


On the judgment day 
Before the gods 
These will be my words, my statement: 
I am a servant of Indians 
India belongs to me 
Yes, Indian I am 
One hundred percent Indian 
Indian is my blood and my caste 
This is my only religion 
My only tribe, my only clan 
I am a particle of the ravaged India's ruins 
This is the only name I have 
The only hallmark, the only address 
Oh, Mother India this was not be my fate 
My good fortune 
That with every movement of mine 
I could have worshipped your feet 
O Mother India 
If my head is offered 
My life is sacrificed 
In your service 
Then, I would understand 
Even in my death 
I will attain 
A life of eternity.
