Alluri Sitaramaraju

 

                                         

You have  pledged  to destroy  tyranny dreadful over folks

You are the ocean of light bright     

Out of surging waves of   revolutionary fervor of India!

Yours is history  immortal  for Telugus!

 

On seeing   your  brave figure of warrior spirit

Elated  was  Telugu nation  in India!

Blasted   were  rivals’ ears  by your conch of victory

Blessed was the forest by touch of your feet!     

 

Scion of royals ! You  looted the government   alien 

Out to exploit the innocents  with its hands  demoniac

Spread  the red salutes your   movement heroic

before the feet of   Andhra prowess!

 

Followed by  Gamu  Doras as body guards

 And the army of Bhils with their bows

You took up the  Bow of Dharma

 Jumped to smash the  shackles of Mother!          

 

Let the whites  might have labeled   you a bandit leader!

What did you  rob?

The anger untenable!

Tyranny unlimited!    

 

Unable to see her lord of life

Your love gave up her life

Uniting with her

‘ Ramaraju’ turned ‘Sitaramaraju’!

 

Pride, perseverance, patriotism

Bravery matchless were yours

Sacrificing your life in the fire of freedom fight

You  ennobled Telugus’ hearts!!  

 

Police took you away with  prayers

Treated  you like the  Lord supreme

Piled  their weapons before your feet lotus

Kudos to your influence enormous!!

 

Perturbed were the military battalions for your “Mirch Mail”

Shaken the brute power at your upsurge

Shines forever  your history like gems bright

 At  the top of the Crown of Bharata Bharati!!
