Haji kai baaki che?

Badhu j to kahi didhu, ke haji kai baaki che?
Dard ghanu ye dai didhu, ke haji kai baaki che?

------

Hatho ma hath parovi, aakhaye raste farvu,

Ek kshan* sathe jivavaa, anek vaar marvu,

Khoto khoto gusso kari, mari sathe Ladvu,

Kaaran vagar hasvu, ne hasta hasta radvu,

Bhulavi didhi e yaado te, ke haji thodi raakhi che?

Dard ghanu ye dai didhu, ke haji kai baaki che?

------

Meetha takraar, ne Pyar bharya ekraar,

Sangaath ni hunf**,ne Laaganio no vyavhaar

Swapno ni duniya, ne e duniya na swapno,

Zindagi bhar har pal, sathe rahevani kasamo,

Todi nakhi che e kasamo, ke haji koi baaki che?

Dard ghanu ye dai didhu, ke haji kai baaki che?
------

Ek j pal ma maru badhu j chhinvaai gayu,

Swapno nu phool khilta j karmai gayu,

Prem ni crur# majak kari, mane tarchhodi^ gayi,

E tari ek j vaat thi jivan vikharaai gayu,

Gaayal kari gayi hati je, tari e vaat hji taaji che,

Dard ghanu ye dai didhu, ke haji kai baki che?
