Lines From Jhansi ki Rani

सिंहासन हिल उठे राजवंशों ने भृकुटी तानी थी,

बूढ़े भारत में भी आई फिर से नयी जवानी थी,

दूर फिरंगी को करने की सबने मन में ठानी थी,

बुंदेले हरबोलों के मुँह हमने सुनी कहानी थी,

खूब लड़ी मर्दानी वह तो झाँसी वाली रानी थी!!#SubhadraKumariChauhan @SubhadraKumari_

जन्मदिवस 🙏 pic.twitter.com/iCYtp65I0o
