She could resolutely defy biased norms and stereotypes dogmatism,
Valiantly transcend the fission of patriarchal monarchism
To instate the inviolable prowess of pistillate glory
She’s Lokemata, she’s invincible Rani Rashmoni.
Demigod she’s on land and wearing her nimbus
She could sentinel her vassals and imperial status
Her intrepidity curbed the delinquent progress of British colony
She’s the protagonist of her courageous transitions, she’s Rani Rashmoni.
The piquancy of her sceptre knew to repress the nefarious and foster the gracious.
Being matronly she trudged any miles to rescue the oppressed and their interests so precious.
Her reformative movements epitomizes her as Saktirupini,
She is the unabashed protagonist, she’s Rani Rashmoni.
Her journey was also a thistly lane
The vicissitudes and personal sufferings splintered her again and again.
Yet she stood firm with her royal intention and philanthropy,
Whose consecrated birth has the divine aura of Krishna’s Gopi, she’s Rani Rashmoni.
The Mother Goddess gave her the vision to establish her at Dakshineshwar,
And meet the crisis of the hour with her adjuvant demeanor.
Her acres of zamindari and her people she seamed with harmony.
She’s Lokemata and vanguard of Divine Mother, she’s Rani Rashmoni.
