      हो मदमाती विजय, मिटा दे गोलों से चाहे झाँसी।
      jāo rānī yād rakheṅge ham kŕtajña bhāratvāsī,
      terā yah balidān jagāvegā svatantratā avināsī,

      Go forth, queen, we grateful Indians will remember,
      your sacrifice will awaken the indestructible soul of freedom,

      whether there be a drunken victory , and cannonballs rain on Jhansi,
