Shivaji

From a warlord to the Chattrapati
Fate indeed was with him.
Tricking the Emperor in an unwinnable war
Cunning was his synonym.

Blessings of Jijabai kept him strong
He carved his own territory
Thousands of men fought with him
Jagadamb gave him victory.

Protector of Hindus, Brahmins and Cows
Founder of Hindu Swaraj
Heart rejoices even today
At the mention of Shivaji Maharaj.
