Ode to the Jat

The fields you till, the earth you know,

A life of toil, where strong winds blow.

With hearts of lions, brave and bold,

A story in your spirit told.

For valour known, in every fight,

You stand for what you know is right.

A community, bound as one,

'Til setting sun.

Kinship ties, a woven thread,

By tribal ways, your paths are led.

Khap Panchayats, voices clear,

A way to guide, and hold things dear.

Your open doors, a welcome hand,

In hospitality's warm command.

Straight talk you give, no hidden guise,

Though blunt it be, truth in your eyes
