 रौंस रै कि तीस रै नि जाणि साकु  जिंदगी। 

फटीं पुरणी किताब सी नि बाँचि साकु जिंदगी।। 

अगास उड़ण्या सुपिन रै पत्त भुयां पोड़ी गौं। 

फगत यनि चिताणु रौं कि ज्युँदि लाश जिंदगी।। 

कबि भरम करम को रै , भतांग खैनी भाग की। 

रौं पिछ्वड़ि लफांग द्वी , नि छौंपि साकु  जिंदगी।। 

कदम-कदम उजड़दि रै , बसगळया पगार सी। 

मीन दूदाs  बाळ सी अड्येकि  राखि  जिंदगी।। 

द्वी घड्यूंक जीण मां , उमर भर की मौत छ। 

फिर बी रोज करदू रौं , तेरी तलाश  जिंदगी।।

                There was great hardship in settling in Bhabhar Garhwal at initial British ruling period. The Bhabhar season was not conducive for human beings. The summer and rainy season were most painful for people in Bhabhar. Bhabhar inhabitants used to send their women and children as soon as summer started as the sun and sun stroke were fatal for human beings. The rainy season was dangerous due to malaria.  In summer and rainy season, strange fever (not heard in hills), indigestion, cholera, dysentery, etc diseases were common in the area. Even in Bhadon (October), the sun heat was disease career.  At that time, usually old people and children used to fell ill and death rates were highest in Bhadon.

      The dirty water from hill used to be used for irrigation in Bhabhar and that dirty water was dangerous for creating various diseases. People used to make toilet at canal bank and that dirt used flow towards down side.

  The wild animals were another hurdle for agriculturists. Due to non hill people of plains , the robberies, gambling, theft, extortion, murder, alcohol production etc were common and hill people were not habitual for tackling such crimes.

    Transport, medical facilities (no vaid in Bhabhar), education facilities were not there in Bhabhar and criminals had conducive shelters in Bhabhar.

 Since, the lease for the land was on temporary basis, the people did not courage for correcting jungle for agriculture. The farmers (real owner) did not have any rights on the land.

The proverb  “Bhabhar ko bas Kul ko Nnash or you will lose generation by settling in Bhabhar’ commonly used by 1950 in Garhwal.

व्यंग बाण

जब चल्दा छन,
बिना चुब्याँ चुब्दा छन,
अर घायल भी करदा छन,
यीं धरती मा मन्ख्यौं सनै.
जब छोड़दु छ क्वी,
अपणा मुखारबिन्द बिटि,
कैका खातिर यनु सोचिक,
कनि बितलि वैका मन मा,
अर तब होलु खुश मैं,
छक्किक अपणा मन मा.
सुदि नि चैन्दा छोड़्यॅा,
कै फर "व्यंग बाण",
एक दिन यीं धरती बिटि,
सब्बि धाणी छोड़ी छाड़ी,
हम्न तुम्न चलि जाण.
