Pag Dhar De Jahan Dharti Dhuje DhujeWherever he sets foot, the very earth shudders,
Ban Kaal Maratha Badh JeeteAdvancing as the Maratha personification of death, he conquers.
Ek Ek Kar Ke Sab Gadh JeeteOne by one, he seized every ‘Gadh’ ‘fortress’,
Har Dushman Se Ladh Rann JeeteWinning the battlefield by fighting every foe.
