The Earth and Sky are appealing to young people to become martyrs for the welfare of their Motherland.

O Shaheed! O Martyr! Our country is like a garden. When you surrender your life, your blood will enrich the soil of this garden and ensure a longer life for it. Roses will blossom on the very spot where you will lay down your life.

Singer: Mohammed Rafi, Khan Mastana;
