Khela kar, khela kar tora     kaaminikusumoguli.
Dekh somiran latakunje giya    kusumgulir chibuk dhoriya
Phiraye e dhaar, phiraye o dhar,     duti kapol chume baarbar
Mukhani uthaaye tuli.
Tora khela kar, tora khela kar    kaaminiekusumoguli.
Kobhu paata-maajhe lukaye mukh, kobhu baayu-kaachhe khule de buk,
Maatha naari naari naach kobhu naach     baayu-kole duli duli.
Du danda bnaachibi, khela tabe khela -    proti nimishei phuraichhe bela,
Basonter kole khelashranto praan    tyajibi bhaabona bhuli.
