JEWEL IN THE CROWN.,




An eternal thirst it has been
Since many a life it must be
As if he pinned poise to his tender heart
He’s running for runs, more and more runs

It has been a dream-run, towards realizing his dreams of runs
From toddled days to till date
He’s running for runs, more and more runs

Towards the bashful youth,
He has been slogging the balls of self-confidence
And shouting ‘catch it’, catch it’
He’s running for runs, more and more runs

Playground is his ultimate temple
Game his sacred daily ritual
He seeks the fruits of success
In his untiring trek to achieve the best
There are no heights he hasn’t climbed
He’s running for runs, more and more runs

With his run-records
He’s painting on world-wall
The greatness of ‘Bharat’
In rainbow colours
He’s running for runs, more and more runs

In his victorious streak
He planted mile-stones
At every corner of cricket-world
Mementos filled his home
He himself became a memento
In the hearts of every cricket fan
He’s running for runs, more and more runs

He never read history
But mastered himself in making history
Again and again in creating and re-creating history
How many beautiful scenes on this world’s canvas
He became the most beautiful of them
How many beautiful words in world languages
He became the more beautiful word of them
He’s running for runs, more and more runs

Yes, he’s "SACHIN TENDULKER"
The name the world adores
The jewel in the crown of ‘Bharat’
He’s running for runs, more and more runs
