Oh Rana! I cease to understand you
Epitome of courage, epitome of bravery,
Maharana Pratap is your name,
But truly a lion by your fame,
Oh Rana, I really cease to understand you!
You challenged the great emperor Akbar,
Nor did your ancestors give up to Babar.
Preferring confidence over ego,
You never let your enemies easily let go.
O Rana! I really cease to understand you!
Thousands of Mughals and just few of your men,
But still as fierce as guardian of heaven,
Surrounded by enemies from all the side,
But still not afraid with all of their pride,
O Rana! I really cease to understand you!
Maybe you had to eat grass – bread,
But you never did let the terror spread,
Of the Mughals, of the invaders,
Who proved themselves they were mere raiders!
O Rana! I really cease to understand you!
Learned much from you and much more to learn,
To fight for the right and also to discern.
Not to give way to greed, luxury and lust,
But to always forgive, help and always trust.
O Rana! I really cease to understand you!
You never let fade away the legacy of patriotism,
For you never accepted any empire’s colonialism,
For you, Rana may my countrymen pray –
May your legacy continue to stay.
But still O Rana! I really cease to understand you!
