rajguru ne jhansi chhodi
le ishvar ka naam
janam bhumi jab sankat me hai
phir kaisa vishram
rajguru ne jhansi chhodi
le ishvar ka naam

pahle mandir gaya
pahle mandir gaya nav par
phir pahucha majhdhar
lahre udhar nadi me thi
man me the idhar vichar
hathi par ghuma lekin bechain
vaha bhi man tha
hathi par ghuma lekin bechain
vaha bhi man tha
rath par bhi kuch dur chala
par vo hi bavlapan tha
usi lagan me chala unt par
usi lagan me chala unt par
ek roj mastana
duniya samaji divana ye
duniya samaji divana ye
desh ka tha divana
ye desh ka tha divana
paidal bhi vo chala
magar vyakulta huyi na dur
jhansi ki takdir le gai
aakhir usse bhi dur
aakhir usse bhi dur

The Rajguru left Jhansi,
Invoking God's name,
When homeland faced its trial,
What peace could he claim?
The Rajguru left Jhansi,
Invoking God's name.

First to the temple, he sailed,
A vessel on faith's tide,
Then reached the river's heart,
Where currents did confide.
He rode an elephant, yet restless,
His spirit did not mend,
He rode an elephant, yet restless,
His spirit would not bend.
He journeyed on a chariot,
A madness still remained,
Upon a camel's back he rode,
A single day sustained.
The world perceived him mad,
Yet he was country's child,
A lover of the land,
Forever reconciled.
He walked upon the earth,
But solace he did find,
Jhansi's fate then swept him on,
Leaving all behind.
Leaving all behind.
