Sakhi re -  pirita bujhabe ke.
Andhar hridayaka dukkha kaahini balaba, sunabe ke.
Raadhikar ati antar bedan ke bujhabe ayi sajani.
Ke bujhbe, sakhi, royata raadha kon dukkhe dinarajani.
Kalanka ratayab jani, sakhi, ratao -  kalanka naahi maani,
Sakal tayagaba labhite shamak aktha aadara baani.
Minati karala sakhi, shata shata baar, tu shamak na diha gaari -
Shila maan kul aapani, sajani, ham charane deyanu daari.
Sakhilo brindabanko durujan maanukh pirita naahik jane,
Brithai ninda kaah ratayata hamar shyamaka naame.
Kalangkini ham raadha, sakhilo, ghrina karah jani maname.
Na aashiyo tab kabuhun, sajanilo, hamar andha bhabaname.
Kahe bhaanu aba, bujabe na sakhi, kohi maramko baata -
Birale shamaka kahiyo bedana brikkhe raakhayi maatha.
