With a sparkle beaming in the bright eyes
And vigour displayed on his wrinkled face
The crown shining on his head
Rama Raya entered the tent of Hussainshah with grace
His hands lay tied behind with fetters
Devoid of his glorious victorious sword
That vanquished Sultans several times
Silence fell on the camp and none spoke word
His head was held high as a tower
Although death stared at him oh dear!
His face was free of fear and remorse
Raya stood towering without slightest fear
Hussainshah rose from his sinful seat
While holding naked sword in his hand
He walked to Raya standing with a majestic grace
Who sacked may times his ill gotten land
“Are you not guilty of mayhem and murder?
Vandalised Muslim homes when your troops streamed?
The holy book Koran was desecrated by you.
I hold you guilty” the Shah loudly screamed.
‘No’ replied the composed king with a gait
“Had I been the anti muslim to the core,
How come I have muslim troops?
Who crossed with you their swords several times before
I have built mosques for my muslim troops
That they worship Allah the great and mighty
You have no case in real against me”, the Raya quipped
“In war, the defeat and victory are in the hands of destiny”-
“Are you not scared of death”? the Sultan asked
“Not at all” the Raya replied, looking bright.
Sultans anger had no limits and bounds
He waved his sword high with all his might
The devil has taken over him as a cruel hound
The sword flashed for a moment smeared with blood
Smile on Raya’s face still there
The head of Raya lay down on the floor.
The great warrior now lay dead on the floor
His head still showing confidence to the core
Smile still flashing on his aged face
Raya’s valour need not be described any more
The great Rama Raya now lay dead for his country
At the hands of a cruel and senseless king
Raya lay dead having been betrayed by his muslim troops
While he was tied with chains that cling
Rama Raya has passed into History’s pages and books
His valour is not written in its pages
Raya has met his Martyrdom
For cause of Hindu faith and heritage
