Subhadra Kumari Chauhan,
Jhansi ki Rani :
- जाओ रानी याद रखेंगे हम कृतज्ञ भारतवासी,
तेरा यह बलिदान जगावेगा स्वतंत्रता अविनासी,
होवे चुप इतिहास, लगे सच्चाई को चाहे फाँसी,
हो मदमाती विजय, मिटा दे गोलों से चाहे झाँसी।- jāo rānī yād rakheṅge ham kŕtajña bhāratvāsī,
terā yah balidān jagāvegā svatantratā avināsī,

ho madmātī vijay, miṭā de golõ se cāhe jhā̃sī. - Go forth, queen, we grateful Indians will remember,
your sacrifice will awaken the indestructible soul of freedom,
whether history is silent, whether the truth is executed by hanging
whether there be a drunken victory , and cannonballs rain on Jhansi,
