Hindi

महलों के भीतर छुप-छुप कर
राजन्य कौन यह भ्रूविलास,मदिरा में डूबा
धर्म और यश भूल गया दुर्बल! रे वंचक!
उठ,अब कर तू युद्ध
और रक्षा कर अपने धर्मों की॥

=============
Bhavani Bharati by Sri Aurobindo
Bhavani Bharati is Sri Aurobindo's only poem in Sanskrit, written between 1904 and 1908. It has 99 verses mostly in the "Upajati" metre which is an apt choice for emoting heroism, power, anger, war. Confiscated by the Calcutta Police, this piece was rediscovered in 1985. The poem depicts the victory of the Shakti, the Mother of the nation, over Ignorance and Evil.
