Kotthin loha kothin ghume chhilo achetan, o taar  ghum bhaangainu re.
Lokkho juger andhokare chhilo sangopan, ogo,  taai jaagainu re.
Posh menechhe haater tale  jaa balaai se temni bale -
Dirgho diner mouna taahar aaj bhaagainu re.
Achal chhilo, sachal hoye    chhutechhe oi jagot-joye -
Nirbhaye aaj dui haate taar raash baagainu re.
