I am your Samarak,

I am your Samarak

I am your Samarak,

You built me, now I shall stand,

Through rain and hail and storm, through thunder and lightning,

Through heat and cold, sun and ice,

For ever and ever, I shall not die,

I am your Samarak.

I shall stand guard, I am your symbol,

Of victory over evil,

Of triumph over oppression and injustices,

Tyranny and hatred,

Of unknown enemies,

I am your Samarak.

Come to me Oh friend,

When you are weary and despondent,

I shall give you courage and fortitude and strength,

To fight and win,

For I am your soldier that never dies,

I am your Samarak,

I am your Samarak.

(The Lt. Puneet Datt Samarak was consecrated on 20^th July 2017, in Defence Colony, N Delhi through a community initiative. The writer views this as a symbol of hope to fight the other enemies of the state, other than those at the borders of our nation.)
