Mai ri main to liyo govindo mol ।
Koi kahai chhanai, koi kahai chhupkai, liyo ri bajanta dhol ॥
Koi kahai munhgho, koi kahai suhango, liyo ri taraju tol ।
Koi kahai karo, koi kahai goro, liyo ri amolak mol ॥
Yahi kun sab janat hai, liyo ri ankhi khol ।
Mira kun prabhu darsan dijyo, purab janam ko kol ॥
