English Transliteration
Dhalat Suraj ke kareen ham aragiya,
Saanjh ke bela Maiya tohara charaniya.
Doobat dinamani ke naman ba hamar,
Ghaate par thaadi bhaktan ke paant.
Maiya ke pooja mein saanjh dhalela,
Diya jale ghaat par ujiyaara ba.
Suraj Dev pachchhim disa jaayele,
Bhakt tohaara naam par gaayele.
Supwa mein sajaake phal aur phool,
Arag chadhaayib bhoolab na bhool.
Diya jaraayib tel baati se,
Maiya ke bhajan gaayib chhaati se.
Karo Maiya hamare manokaamana poor,
Jeevan mein rahe sukh aur ujiyaar.
Saanjh ke arag leke khada baadin,
Maiya ke charan mein maath navaadin.
