Colours spiritual; I discover my beloved Nepal.
….
Blue for intelligence; continuity, purity and the humble pride,
Blue, melting from the Himalayas is where you thrive.
Blue for sensibility; the peak for beauty with the simplicity,
Blue is the patience and perseverance required for the humanity.
Blue the fountain; for moral and the religious upbringings,
Blue is the mountain which fills my blessed drinks.
And the blue; the cover of conscience, the banner for Buddhists,
Blue is playful and non conformist.
Blue is green productive and violet divine.
Flags won't speak!
….
Red for magnificence; passion, procreation and the protective bravery,
Red has always been our revolt against the slavery.
Red for independence; the colour of plain and the heat radiating from struggle,
Red is the humidity that has always been a puzzle.
Red is Karma; the spiritual divine, process and the freedom,
Red is our culture that prospers heroism.
And the red; the striving for higher self, the emblem of Hindus,
Red, better ripe and sweet, is only about the truth.
Red can be crimson blood, violet anger and purple disgrace.
Flags won't speak!
….
White for purity; pristine, enlightened and the peaceful,
White is the faith and dignity of innocent and merciful.
White is the light; the brightness of the sky, sun and the moon,
White can be blended from red, blue and green.
White for life; the nature, nurture and the driving force,
White is about celebration but sacrifice and healthy discourse.
White is cellular; the projection, compassion and the identity of Kirati,
White is omnipresent; in Vedic Mantra, to the self worth and our personality.
White is a reflection and detachment but can be sterile, scarcities and lies.
Flags won't speak!
….
Everest; standing tall, composed and mindful,
Everest is gracious, conscious and thoughtful.
Everest is Buddha; meditative, active and watchful,
Everest in our flag is the triangle wonderful.
Everest is Shiva; compassionate, auspicious and friendly,
Everest is the liberator, creator and our heavenly.
Everest; Shiva in the morning is purple, crimson and red,
Everest; Buddha in the evening is white, blue and velvet.
Everest is the pinnacle, the head of the ocean and the miracle.
Flags won't speak!
….
Tricolours abstract; I carry my dearest Nepal.
….
O Tricolours, blue for the tranquil mountain and white for the friendly plain,
The red is my courage carrying the calm moon and the passionate sun.
O Flag bearer, moon is my elegance and the sun fosters my patience,
Rhododendron has been my poise and the tolerance.
O Crimson red, my class is the audacity to thrive against all hurdles,
I learned from my father never to worry about those hopeless puddles.
O Deep blue my ability is to love irrespective of fear,
Seriousness is what I acquired from my mother.
Purple in the spirituality, culture and upbringing will unite us together.
Flags won't speak!
….
I know ways to make friends and compete with the best,
There has been divisions but let's be together for this conquest.
I know the importance of golden paddy and silver rice,
We will find pearls in the river, herbs in the hills and salt in the mountains.
I am taller than I am wide as I have to make sacrifice,
I speak half as I listen but clear is my conscience.
I will laugh and love to heal wounds,
I will be reviving again to fulfill the duty of bonds.
I will know myself to be enlightened or the world for the way to paradise.
Flags won't speak!
