Dise nā vo jaldī kī waqt apne aap |
Birādar hain Savām ke, Choron ke Baap! ||
You will never see Them coming for you unless They Themselves will it,
They are a Community of Highborns, and Masters of Marauding.

Har ek mādavā unkī goyā Parī |
Dikhāne Chandar ko apas dilbarī ||
Every single steed of the Marathas is a celestial sprite,
They love flying among the stars grazing the Moon itself.

Kare Daur mein ā jo bāre sū bāt? |
Mundāsā le uskā ude hātehāt ||
In this Era what can compare to the Marathas?
They gird Their turbans and simply reach out with Their hands to seize everything.

Kare fir jo Kāvi kī khūbī ayān |
Pade pech mein, Dekh āve Raya! ||
Then They perform such exploits worthy of ballads to sing of,
Bolting into the battlefield, see there comes the Maratha Lord!

Cappalpanas sū jahā unkī Talwar kare! |
Piche Shugalbāzī kī bijalyā pade! ||
Rapidly Their sword strikes wherever unsheathed,
Behind Them in the clouds of dust raised by them, the Lightning dances!

Har ek Nejābāzi mein Rāvuta badā! |
Khalke Chandar hatate kāre kadā! ||
In every skill of the Lance the Maratha Cavalier is a maestro,
When they draw out the sword it is as if the Crescent Moon flashes in their hands.

Jo Dhan-Fauj ki Nāz mein hoy nipat |
Toh Neje kī ungalī sū khole ghunghat! ||
Once that arrogant one (Aurangzeb) who marches his armies against them (Marathas) is defeated,
He shall die cuckolded while his womenfolk undress themselves in front of the Maratha Lancers.
