-

 ठंडू मठू के बाटु लग्युं रै 

तन कि  पीड़ा देखि ना 

कबि त आली ऋतु बसंत।  मन कि आस छोड़ि  ना। 

गारा कांडु खुटि बैठला , आँखि बूजि जिसैsले 

छैलू -पाणी मिलि नि मिली , अगनै बाटु छोड़ि  ना 

कबि त आली ऋतु बसंत।  मन कि आस छोड़ि  ना। 

काळी रात अंद्यरु बाटु , द्यू बत्ती लेकि हाथ 

सारू दगड्या क्वी नि होलू , तू जग्वाळ कैरि ना 

 कबि त आली ऋतु बसंत।  मन कि आस छोड़ि  ना। 

अपणा बारा अपणु बाना बकि कबि नि जाण 

अब त आस त्वैमा लग्युं , हम खुणि मुख मोडि ना 

 कबि त आली ऋतु बसंत।  मन कि आस छोड़ि  ना। 

  मौळयार बयार आलि , फूल खिलला रंगी रंगीला 

छैल छबीली दुन्या होली , तू यनु मा बिरड़ि ना 

 कबि त आली ऋतु बसंत।  मन कि आस छोड़ि  ना।
