Naval haudah se mukh mora, kahin hathi, kahin ghora ; 

 Kabail bhi kahin chhora na sar chera, samhara hai, 

 Chalen topan dharadhar se, rahkli bhi parapar se, 

 Shutr-nalen taratar se, tahavvar ka pahara bai, 

 Obalen tiren sans-sans, cbali goli manan man man, 

 Katen bakr jbanan jhan jhan, pari talwar dhara bai, 

 Bhabuti nam bai mera, 'Ataipur men dera bai 

 Yibi bai mo-ka-khera, tale G-anga kinara hai.
