يہ غازی ، يہ تيرے پر اسرار بندے جنھيں تو نے بخشا ہے ذوق خدائی
دو نيم ان کی ٹھوکر سے صحرا و دريا سمٹ کر پہاڑ ان کی ہيبت سے رائی
دو عالم سے کرتی ہے بيگانہ دل کو عجب چيز ہے لذت آشنائی
شہادت ہے مطلوب و مقصود مومن نہ مال غنيمت نہ کشور کشائی

His counter-attack was so ferous and audacious that indian military itself recommended him for the highest honor.

What a hero!!

The Indian army’s citation for Karnal Sher Khan was as follows-

He was very courageous. After a fierce battle, we had recovered the Tiger Hills on July 4 and for the next four days, were gradually advancing to recover other features — the Helmet, India Gate and Rhino Horn. Soon after the soldiers of 8 Sikh recovered the feature on July 7 around 8 am, Captain Karnal Sher with just a handful of Pakistani soldiers, launched a swift counter attack,” said an officer of the 8 Sikh, liberal in his appreciation. “It was suicidal for Sher to launch the attack in broad daylight because we could see his movements. Yet in the highest of military traditions, he launched the attack. It is a disgrace for any army to be evicted from a post and he wanted to save Pakistani army from that disgrace,” the officer said.

Such was the ferocity of his attack that 8 Sikhs had to be reinforced by a platoon of 18 Grenadier. The Pakistan counter attack was beaten back and 15 of their soldiers were killed. While other Pakistani soldiers tried to run away under the onslaught of Indian guns, Captain Sher rallied around his men, encouraging them to fight on. The Indian side too suffered casualties but the determined Sikhs beat back this assault too.

At least 10 more Pakistani soldiers were killed. Sher fought till the end till a hail of bullets snuffed life out of him. Even as he fell, his finger was curled around his gun. “We are a professional Army and respect another professional soldier, even if he is from the enemy side. And we would feel happy if a soldier like him gets recognition for his bravery.
