If Cricket is a religion and sachin is its GOD, here is my devotional song..

This is war and He is the ultimate warrior
First to reply when the war trumpets call.
With Buddha-like poise and an honest endeavor
In the battlefield, He always stands tall.

Whenever He appears, a sea of people follow
Their cries of joy reaching the heavens above.
When He attacks, opponents in shock wallow
A downpour of centuries and joy He does bestow.

A win for the team, is His thirst and quest
For His conquests,immense pain He does bear.
Inspiration to many are His strength and zest
We love Him for humility, a quality so rare.

Millons of Gods in a Cow, Men have seen
The Only God of this religion He has been.
Shining like a star, He became the apple of our eye,
Mesmerized by his game, I became a fan of this guy!



Thanks to my friend, another huge fan of Sachin for transalating my kannada poem into this english version. I just assisted in conveying the meaning aptly and in rework of some lines.
