Having a small son fastened around her back
When her widowed wrists measured swords
With the English soldiers
Sliced them wholesale to safeguard
The sovereignty of Jhansi
A bribed treachery smashed
The doors of Kalpi fort...her faith.
In the harness of inimitable bravery
Queen Lakshmi Bai embraced death
Etched on the English history
Her unprecedented valor.
