Rág Dádara. Khub lari mardänf ; are Jbans wall Rani. Burjân burján topain lagki dain, golâ chalai asmânt. Are Jhansiwalt Râni, kbûb lari mardâni. Sugare sipahian ko perâ jilebt ; apne chabat gur dhani. Are Jhansiwali Râni, khub lari mardâni. Chhor Morcha, lasbkar ko bbagi; dhun ohe milai nahin pânf. Aro Jhansiwali Rani, khub lagi mard Ani.

, the Rani of Jhansi, well fought the brave one. Leaving Morcha, she led to the army; where she searched and found no water. O, the Rani of Jhansi, well fought the brave one.

Text.
Kábanpur se kunch kiyâ, án Khûdâganj måra, mora. Charo taraf se båndhi morchâ, lare khub jang gorå.
2. Sabiq men charbt gai Dubai, kiya jaga us ne halla. Parâ båndhi ke sawâr, pahunche pichhe se dhảya Ghalla.
3. Hinda kahate Ram Râm,' sor Musalman Allah Allah.' Lase mard bedard khet mei, athe zor jin ke kalla.
Tuktuk hoya lase, sipahi, nabii pichhe moryo. Charo taraf se bandhi morcha, lare kbub jangi gora.
Pahale hul math bhes, chale shamshir, kathin hat lapál. Khudaganj naddi ke ûpar lare sûrma sipahi.
