Does bravery have a color?
If it does, that color is khaki.
Does a uniform hold power?
When it strikes, it never breaks.
"He will fear and run away,"
"He does not have an ounce of courage,"
"He will beg and fall at our feet,"
You villain, that is what you thought.
Look into his eyes now!
You villain, that is what you thought.
Look into his eyes now!
Without a reason,
A hero is never born.
When khaki wears him,
No other reason is needed.
Without a reason,
A hero is never born.
When khaki wears him,
No other reason is needed.
He who takes up the knife
Will die by the knife.
He who holds the lathi (police baton)
Will protect the truth.
He who takes up the knife
Will die by the knife.
He who holds the lathi (police baton)
Will protect the truth.
Exploding with a loud blast,
What is it that blows apart?
It is the heart
Of the opposing enemy.
Falling away like loose strands,
What is it that scatters?
It is the courage
Of the trembling enemy.
Exploding with a loud blast,
What is it that blows apart?
It is the heart
Of the opposing enemy.
Falling away like loose strands,
What is it that scatters?
It is the courage
Of the trembling enemy.
The moment the shield called fear
Shatters into pieces,
Anything becomes a weapon
In the grip of these fingers.
Darkness may laugh
At the death of light,
Sparks of fire will burst forth
The moment these eyelids open.
This rage of one man
Is not just one man's anger.
Forgiving and forgetting
Are not the nature of khaki.
Hiding and getting destroyed
Are the enemy's right.
Putting them in their place
Is the duty of khaki.
Does bravery have a color?
If it does, that color is khaki.
Does a uniform hold power?
When it strikes, it never breaks.
Without a reason,
A hero is never born.
When khaki wears him,
No other reason is needed.
He who takes up the knife
Will die by the knife.
He who holds the lathi (police baton)
Will protect the truth.
He who takes up the knife
Will die by the knife.
He who holds the lathi (police baton)
Will protect the truth.
