Mai Amar Shahido ka Charan
Mai Amar Shahido ka Charan (Hindi: मैं अमर शहीदों का चारण; IAST: maiṃ amara śahīdoṃ kā cāraṇa) is a popular Hindi-language poem written by Srikrishna Saral (1919-2000). Saral calls himself 'Charan of the martyrs' as a parallel to the Charans of the medieval age who inspired soldiers in battles with the heroic deeds of the ancestors in poetic verses. The theme of the poem is that of remembering and cherishing the sacrifices of heroes who sacrificed their lives for the freedom of the country. Refrain and example verse 
Every stanza in the poem end with a couplet carrying the same line: maim amara shahidom ka charana unake yasha gaya karata hum (I sing the praises of the immortal martyrs). Using a very simple language, Saral articulates India's revolutionaries, the freedom movement and patriotic ferver with his work and reminds the new generation of the country the virtue of the freedom struggle and the martyrs associated with it.
