“नीर वंचित, तपती रेतों में भी, प्रेम पुष्प खिलते हैं, अमर वीरों की अमर प्रेम कहानी, अमर लोक में ही मिलते हैं।” (Translation: “Even in the scorching sands, love blossoms like a flower. The immortal love story of valiant heroes is etched in eternity.”)

In the land of valor and ancient tales, Prithviraj Chauhan’s name prevails. A warrior king with a lion’s heart, He played his part, a noble art.

From Ajmer’s fort to the battlefield, His sword gleamed, unconcealed. Against Ghurid invaders, he stood tall, Defending his realm, risking all.

Samyukta, his love, fair and true, Their story echoed through time’s dew. But treachery struck, a fateful night, As Prithviraj faced the enemy’s might.

In the Second Battle of Tarain’s plain, He fought fiercely, but fate was disdain. Bound and blinded, yet his spirit soared, His legacy etched in history’s chord.

Prithviraj, the sun that never sets, A hero remembered, our hearts in debts. His courage, honor, and undying flame, Forever echo Prithviraj’s name
