Dekha na-dekhai mesha  hey bidyutlata,
Knaapao jharer buke  eki byakulata.
Gagone se ghure ghure   khnoje kaachhe, khnoje dure -
Sahosa ki haasi haaso, naahi kaho katha.
Aandhar ghanay shunye,    naahi jaane naam,
Ki rudro sandhane sindhu    dulichhe durdaam.
Aranyo hatashpraane  aakashe lalat haane,
Dike dike knede phere    ki duhsaho byatha.
