Nepali: The Ode of Remembrance

The Ode of Remembrance is a poem that is commonly recited at Anzac Day services to commemorate wartime sacrifice. In collaboration with the Australian War Memorial, SBS presents the Ode of Remembrance in 45 languages.

On Anzac Day, Australians across the country commemorate those who served, fought and perished in the Australian and New Zealand forces. Over time, the significance of the day has extended to those who were on the opposite side of the battles.

Here is the Ode of Remembrance in Nepali:

उनीहरूलाई बुढ्यौलीले छुने छैन, जसरी हामी बाँकी रहेकाहरू वृद्ध हुनेछौं।

उमेरले उनीहरूलाई ढाल्ने छैन, न त वर्षहरूले नै खोट लगाउन पाउने छ।

सुर्य अस्ताउँदा र प्रभातमा

हामी उनीहरूलाई सम्झने छौं
