O mighty lion with two-fold strength, speak,
The shattered roots of the earth tremble,
The entire cosmic sphere is ablaze,
What immutable silence do you contemplate?
O mighty lion with two-fold strength, speak.
The ultimate light of awakened life,
Engaged in a battle across the boundless ocean,
Conflict and warfare all around, within
The dense darkness of an ice cave.
When the mighty strike of relentless aggression,
Makes the entire horizon quiver,
What thoughts brew within,
To unveil the obscured truths of virtue?
Does the effort of sin and salvation beckon,
O mighty lion with two-fold strength, speak?
Has the flame of valor within you extinguished?
Or have the fierce claws lost their grip?
Or are you, scared by adversity,
Embracing the four cardinal directions with rage?
A rare opportunity, this baptism by fire,
Has arrived to cleanse your mark of disgrace,
The inevitable course of destiny commands you,
To fight for the cost of liberation’s gold.
In the midst of this dilemma, what silence persists,
O mighty lion with two-fold strength, speak?
What evidence does the world offer you?
Whose character stands before you?
Your forefathers proclaimed, “A battle,
Ever pure and eternally sacred.”
By your efforts and sacrifices, victory is within reach,
The call for sacrifice resonates today,
“I shall welcome with open arms,
Those brave souls who come for liberation.”
‘Tis the mantra of liberation through annihilation,
Listen, echoing throughout the cosmic expanse;
What unbroken silence do you ponder,
O mighty lion with two-fold strength, speak?
Don’t falter at the sight of teeth and claws,
Don’t be agitated by domestic discord;
Witness the boundless enthusiasm within,
See the valor in your own chains!
Observe the unwavering wind’s favor,
See the limitless strength of your arm,
If you tread to break the shackles somewhere,
Who will dare to obstruct your path?
See the resolute strength of the firmament,
Rising beyond the limitless sea’s sway;
Arise, awaken, time is no longer left,
O valorous lion of Bharat, speak.
