Poem: I Am Himachal, I Will Win Again

My voice booms, I will sing again 
I am Himachal, will win again.

Hurt but not shaken
Worried but not beaten 
With strong affection, will foster love again 
I am Himachal, will win again.

Introspecting and the best is expected 
No backing off, my patience is tested 
Pride is high, will get my glory again 
I am Himachal, will win again. 

Will set up ravaged homes and nurture shattered dreams 
Task is difficult but will crush the destruction regime 
My warmth is comforting, will make friends again 
I am Himachal, will win again. 

Courage is rocklike and intentions sturdy
Resolve to restore nature is nothing but steady 
My purpose is lofty, will follow a virtuous reign
I am Himachal, will win again.
