My voice booms, I will sing againÂ
I am Himachal, will win again.
Hurt but not shaken
Worried but not beatenÂ
With strong affection, will foster love againÂ
I am Himachal, will win again.
Introspecting and the best is expectedÂ
No backing off, my patience is testedÂ
Pride is high, will get my glory againÂ
I am Himachal, will win again.Â
Will set up ravaged homes and nurture shattered dreamsÂ
Task is difficult but will crush the destruction regimeÂ
My warmth is comforting, will make friends againÂ
I am Himachal, will win again.Â
Courage is rocklike and intentions sturdy
Resolve to restore nature is nothing but steadyÂ
My purpose is lofty, will follow a virtuous reign
I am Himachal, will win again.
(Himanshu Misra is a retired Inspector General of Police, Himachal Pradesh, a writer and traveller)
