O Revered Queen, Padmawaty

 

O  Revered Queen, Padmawaty, 

O valiant mahasati, Padmawaty,

Why do you shed incessant tears?

Doesn’t your  pure heart  feel  gaiety?

Isn’t your spirit any thrilled?

To see your brave hordes spilled?

 On streets with swords and batons

To protect your holy dignity?

Their minds are filled with ire,

Malls and mobikes they set fire;

Doors and windows fall shattered

To prove their royal bravery!

Cinema Owners shiver in fear,

To hear your sons valorus cheer;

They’ll slash the heroine’s nose,

And behead the infamous Bhansaly!

Aren’t you glad to see their power?

They compel crying kids cower?

In the school bus stoned to shreds ,

To honour  you, O  Padmawaty?

O Revered Queen, Padmawaty, 

O Valiant mahasati, Padmawaty,

Why do you shed incessant tears?

Doesn’t  your pure heart feel gaiety ?
