In this stirring poem, I channel the spirit of the Babbar Sher—the fearless guardian of the nation.
With fire in his words and love for the motherland, he celebrates the essence of being Indian: bold, humble, and resolute in action.

This is not just a poem—it’s a call to awaken the patriot within.

“I do not speak to impress, I act to express.
—For I am India, undivided, unshaken, eternal.”

Jai Hind. Jai Bharat.

“I Am India”

By Vijay. Verma | retiredkalam.com

I am the Babbar Sher, the Lion—
With fire in my heart and purpose in stride,
I walk with pride through Bharat’s land,
Where rivers sing and mountains stand.

I am not made for idle talk,
My steps are firm, my path is walk.
I do not argue, I rise and do,
For every drop of my blood is true.

I am the farmer, sowing the grain,
I am the soldier, braving the pain.
I build the dreams, I break the chain,
I bear the sun, I dance in rain.

I breathe the hymns of ancient lore,
I hold the values my fathers bore.
From Vedas’ light to tricolor’s gleam,
I am the spirit, I am the dream.

My roar echoes from desert to sea,
A call for peace, for unity.
Let no force shake my mother’s name,
For I rise in love, not in shame.

My spine is steel, my mind is flame,
In every heart, burns India’s name.
With every breath, I vow again—
To guard her honor, through joy or pain.

I am not just soil, nor just sky,
I am the eagle that dares to fly.
I am the son, the soldier, the sage—
I am India, the soul, and the age.

(Vijay Verma)
