The Sun set

Have you ever witnessed how the sun sets? 

First slowly, then all at once? 

Leaving the world in darkness. 

That day left Mewar in darkness. 

Because he was no more. 

The sun of the Rajputs.

On whose death even his enemies cried. 

So great was the warrior. 

On whose death, his subjects wailed. 

So great was the king.

That night, when the grief-stricken son 

Looked up at the star-studded sky, 

He remembered his mother's words. 

'Everyone you ever loved who died 

Is up there smiling at you.'

Two stars shone the brightest that night. 

He smiled. 

United, after a life of battle and struggles 

They had found each other in peace. 

Greatest was their Love.
