Jhini jhini bini chadriya ।
Kahe kai tana kahe kai bharni, kaun tar se bini chadriya ॥
Ingla pingla tana bharni, sukhman tar se bini chadriya ।
Ath kanval dal charkha dolai, panch tatt gun tini chadriya ॥
Sani ko siyat mas das lagai, thok thok kai bini chadriya ।
So chadar sur nar muni orhi, orhi kai maili kini chadriya ॥
Das kabir jatan kari orhi, jyon kin tyon dhar dini chadriya ॥
