[Verse 1]
Samay ke saath
Manikarnika sirf badi nahi hui
Mazboot hui
Har raat
Har sawal
Har kasam se

Har girne ke baad
Usne uthna seekha
Zakhmon ko chupaya nahi
Har chot ko shakti banaya

[Chorus]
Woh Manikarnika hai
Jiski kismat rajgaddi par baithna nahi
Rajya ki raksha karna hai
Yeh uska janmadhikar hai
Uska dharm

[Verse 2]
Shastra ho ya shaastra
Haath mein talwar ho
Ya buddhi ki tezi
Ghoda dhadakta saathi tha
Yuddh uska pareeksha-ghar

Dhawani ke beech
Usne khud se ek hi sawal poocha
“Dar kisko kehte hain
Jab peeche tera apna desh khada ho?”

[Bridge]
Yeh bachpan nahi tha
Yeh yoddha ki taiyyari thi
Gudiyon se nahi khela usne
Qismat ko hi mutthi mein pakda

Aankhon mein aag thi
Lahu mein vachan
Jab duniya ne use roka
Usne sirf itna kaha…

[Chorus]
“Main Manikarnika hoon
Meri kismat rajgaddi par baithna nahi
Mera kartavya rajya ki raksha karna hai
Aur main piche mudkar dekhne nahi aayi”
