  हे ऊँची डांडि तुम निसि ह्व़े जावा 

       कवि: तारा दत्त गैरोला (सदेइ पुस्तक से साभार )

हे ऊँची डांड्यों तुम निसि जावा 

घैणि कुंल़ाइ तुम छांटी ह्व़ा 

मैकू लगीं च खुद मैतुडा  की

बाबा जी को देश देखण द्यावा  

Bend down Ye high hills

Disperse  Ye crowded pines

Let me see my Papa's home

My heart for that place pines! 

Rai Bahadur Gairola offered newer form to old folk songs.
