ओम नमो बभूत , माता बभूत , पिता बभूत

बभूत तीन लोक तारणि

ओम नमो बभूत , माता बभूत , पिता बभूत

सब दोष की निवारणी

इश्वरंन औणी गौजलि छाणी

अनंत सिद्धों ने मस्तक चढ़ावणी

चढ़े बभूत नि पड़े हाउ

रक्छा करे आतम विश्वासी गुरु गोर्क राउ

जरे जरे धरेतरी फले, धरेतरी मात गायत्री चरे ,

सुषे सुषे अगनि मुख जले

सया बभूत नौनाथ प्रपूत चढ़े

सया बभूत हंसदा कमल को चढ़े

तिर्तिया बभूत तीन लोक कूं चढ़े

चतुर्थी बभूत चार वेदूं कूं चढ़े

चढ़े पंचमे बभूत पंचदेव कूं चढ़े

हँसान दिखे तुमारु नाऊँ

आप गुरु दाता तारो, ज्ञान खड्ग ल़े काल मारो

औंदी डैनकणी द्यालों पातळ

दूष नाचे , सुष बैठे बस कुंवार किकरे माया

इस पिंड की अमर कया

अमर पिरथवी बजूर की काया

घर घर गोरख वै कर सिद्धि काया निर्मल निधि

सोल कला स पिंड वाला घट पिंडक गोरक रखवाला

अमर दूदी पीवे घोर घटे पिंड रखले गोरखवीर
