Offer sacrifice to me; give, for I am thirsty. Seeing me, know and adore the original Power, ranging here as Kali who roars aloud and hungers to enjoy the heads and bodies of mighty rulers.

Hindi

हो शहीद मुझ पर बलि जाओ,
मैं प्यासी हूँ,मुझे रक्त दो,
देखो मेरी ओर, मुझे जानो,
आदिशक्ति हूँ मैं,तुम मुझको पहचानो,
घूम रही यह काली चारों ओर, गरज रही
राजन्यों के तन की भूखी,मांग रही मस्तक॥

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.
