Vande Mataram

Jhansi ki Rani

- by Subhadra Kumari Chauhan

Sinhasan hil uthey raajvanshon ney bhrukuti tani thi,

budhey Bharat mein aayee phir se nayi jawani thi,

gumee huee azadi ki keemat sabney pehchani thi,

door phirangi ko karney ki sab ney man mein thani thi.

Chamak uthi san sattavan mein, yeh talwar purani thi,

Bundeley Harbolon key munh hamney suni kahani thi,

Khoob ladi mardani woh to Jhansi wali Rani thi.

Kanpur key Nana ki muhn boli bahen chhaveeli thi,

Lakshmibai naam, pita ki woh santaan akeli thi,

Nana key sangh padhti thi woh Nana key sangh kheli thi

barchhi, dhal, kripan, katari, uski yehi saheli thi.

Veer Shivaji ki gaathaayen uski yaad zabani thi,

Bundeley Harbolon key munh hamney suni kahani thi,

Khoob ladi mardani woh to Jhansi wali Rani thi.

Lakshmi thi ya Durga thi woh swayan veerta ki avatar,

dekh Marathey pulkit hotey uski talwaron key vaar,

nakli yudh-vyuh ki rachna aur khelna khub shikar,

sainya gherna, durg todna yeh they uskey preeya khilwad.

Maharashtra-kul-devi uski bhi aaradhya Bhavani thi,

Bundeley Harbolon key munh hamney suni kahani thi,

Khoob ladi mardani woh to Jhansi wali Rani thi.

Happy Women's Day!!!!!

The beauty of a woman is not in

the clothes she wears, the figure she carries,

or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes,

because that is the doorway to her heart,

the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman

is not in a facial mole,

but true beauty in a woman

is reflected in her soul.

It is the caring that she lovingly gives,

the passion she shows,

the beauty of a woman

with passing years—only grows.
