About the Poet: Subhadra Kumari Chauhan
Subhadra Kumari Chauhan ki virasat sirf ek kaviyatri ke roop mein nahi, balki ek bahadur aur sahasi neta ke roop mein bhi mashhoor hai. Unki kavita “Jhansi Ki Rani” sirf veerangana Rani Lakshmibai ko amar nahi karti, balki woh Bharatiya mahilaon ke atal jazbe ki misaal bhi hai, jo angrezi hukumat ke khilaf lad rahi thi.
Chauhan ka giraftar hona, non-cooperation andolan ke dauran, unhe angrezi raaj ke khilaf ek pratibadh aur virodh ki nishani bana diya, jo unke swatantrata ke liye samarpan ko dikhata hai. Unka jeevan kala aur sangharsh ke mel ka ek adarsh udaharan hai, jo batata hai ki kavita sirf abhivyakti ka zariya nahi, balki badlav lane ka ek shakti shali madhyam bhi ho sakti hai.
Jhansi Ki Rani Kavita
Bundele harbolo ke muh se humne suni kahani thi,
Khoob ladi mardani woh to Jhansi wali Rani thi.
Woh bachpan mein bhi khelon mein talwar chalayi karti thi,
Apne khilonon se zyada woh talwar pasand karti thi.
Nau saal ki umr badi tezi se seekhi usne talvaar chalaana,
Mardani jaisi dikhne wali, sabko thi woh bhaati mana.
Khoob ladi mardani woh to Jhansi wali Rani thi.
Shaadi hui Jhansi raja se, Rani banke woh aayi thi,
Raj mahal mein rehkar bhi veeron wali shaan dikhayi thi.
Raja ne use apna saathi mana, desh-bhakti sikhayi thi,
Rani ne bhi rajneeti ki sab reet nibhayi thi.
Khoob ladi mardani woh to Jhansi wali Rani thi.
Par bhagya ko kuch aur hi tha manzoor,
Raja chhod chale sansaar ka noor.
Rani ne ek putr ko god liya,
Jhansi ki gaddi par usko baitha diya.
Khoob ladi mardani woh to Jhansi wali Rani thi.
Angrezon ne yeh na maana,
Jhansi ko bhi apna thikana jaana.
Rani ne inkaar kiya,
Jhansi na dene ka vichaar kiya.
Khoob ladi mardani woh to Jhansi wali Rani thi.
Rani ne than liya mann mein,
Jhansi chhod na degi jan mein.
Sena banayi, talwar uthayi,
Angrezon ki neend udayi.
Khoob ladi mardani woh to Jhansi wali Rani thi.
Bundelon ke sangh milkar,
Jhansi bachane ka vachan kiya.
Lakshmibai ne ran mein jaakar,
Dushmanon se sangram kiya.
Khoob ladi mardani woh to Jhansi wali Rani thi.
Veer Shivaji ki vanshaj thi,
Apna farz samajh chuki thi.
Dushmanon se ladi woh akele,
Talwar chalayee hath mein leke.
Khoob ladi mardani woh to Jhansi wali Rani thi.
Ghode par baith putra ko peeth pe baandha,
Veeron jaisa roop tha uska ananddaya.
Angrez bhi dekh hairaan hue,
Jhansi ki Rani ka balidan chhupa na raha kisee se.
Khoob ladi mardani woh to Jhansi wali Rani thi.
Jhansi ki chhati par kabhi kalank na aane diya,
Apna pran dekar bhi apna maan banaaye rakha.
Maatri bhoomi ke liye ladi, veerangana bani woh,
Aaj bhi Bharat maa us par garv karti ho.
Khoob ladi mardani woh to Jhansi wali Rani thi.
