After I read the lyrics of new nepali anthem i was disappointed. Although it is a good poem with nice words put together succintly, It has no life in it. Just nice words with no spirit. There is no doubt that the poem in general is pro public and pro nepali, unfortunately it lacks the energy and power. I mean You do not feel anything after you read it. While reading the poem I felt the poem underwent some brutal amputation as the selection committe was strict on one of the rules that the song should have less than fifty words. As ridiculous it is it may sound, the committee seemed to undermine other more important characters national anthems around the world usually have, for example: 1. the contribution of people: Our national anthem has one line about the contribution of nepali to Nepal: वीरहरुका रगतले, स्वतन्त्र र अटल। It is a shame that we forgot the sacrifice of hundreds of martyrs while penning down the national anthem. It is so weird that the anthem is rewritten as a result of the public revolution and it has no mention of it. The line is also too frugal in eulogizing the glorious past we had which shaped the present Mechi to Mahakali Nepal. Understood we are bahul jati dharma and sanskriti but Can we not cherish "Nepali" and "Nepal" in a better way. 2.cherishing the freedom and democracy, for god sake we have always been an independent soverign country. Never been ruled by any outsider! 3. Mention of the glorious flag I am also severely diappointed with Amber Gurung's mediocre ,laid back, lethargic and at any cost it does not sound/smell/taste like a national anthem-composition. However, since it has already been our national anthem, I am going to stop my whining about it right now. I am already half way in memorizing the words and hopefully I can sing it in a few days. Jai Nepal सयौं थूंगा फूलका हामी, एउटै माला नेपाली सार्वभौम भइ फैलिएका, मेची-महाकाली। प्रकृतिका कोटी-कोटी सम्पदाको आंचल वीरहरुका रगतले, स्वतन्त्र र अटल। ज्ञानभूमि, शान्तिभूमि तराई, पहाड, हिमाल अखण्ड यो प्यारो हाम्रो मातृभूमि नेपाल। बहुल जाति, भाषा, धर्म, संस्कृति छन् विशाल अग्रगामी राष्ट्र हाम्रो, जय जय नेपाल।
