angrezo ne jeet li jhansi
angrezo ne jeet li jhansi
bahut satyanashi parja ko di fansi
firngi gaye lut maar gaye paar
firngi gaye lut maar gaye paar
bhad bhadai bachcho pe bhi balban
jhansi ka lut gay re galhar
jhansi ka lut gay re galhar
jhansi ka lut gay re galhar

par bijali na hath aayi
par bijali na hath aayi
sainy ka fans tod chal dhai
chali wo daudati daudti daudati
kati re kati re
man hi man sahab gaya jhunjhala
kurad ho hath raha marta
kurad ho hath raha marta
kurad ho hath raha marta

pichhe pichhe firangi dauda
pichhe pichhe firangi dauda
leke saina ko use dhundhne ko
ganv ganv bheja sakhat farman
ganv ganv bheja sakhat farman
dikhe jaha lelo rani ki jaan
hukm sahan ka rakhana re dhyan
hukm sahan ka rakhana re dhyan
hukm sahan ka rakhana re dhyan

The English triumphed at Jhansi,
A harvest of truths, the populace hanged.
The foreigners came, they plundered, then fled,
Their wrath unleashed, even on babes they bled.
Jhansi's necklace, now shattered and gone,
Jhansi's necklace, forever withdrawn,
Jhansi's necklace, its beauty withdrawn.

Yet lightning eluded their grasp,
As the army's walls began to collapse.
She ran, she ran, her spirit unbound,
A scythe through their ranks, as the earth resounded.
The Sahib fumed, his anger aflame,
His grasp undone, consumed by the game,
His grasp undone, in eternal shame,
His grasp undone, consumed by flame.

The foreigners pursued in their wake,
Their army behind, for her life's sake.
Through every village, a decree they sent,
"Find her, and claim the Queen's lament."
Obey the Sahib, his orders you're bound,
Obey the Sahib, on hallowed ground,
Obey the Sahib, with no sound.
