English Transliteration
Uga na Suraj Dev bhaile bhor ke ber,
Ghaate par thaadi Maiya arag ke ber.
Maiya ke manwa harakhaye ho,
Suraj Dev ke darasan paye ho.
Poorab disa se uga na dinamani,
Chamake sona ke kiraniya naami.
Arag chadhaavat baadi bhaktiniya,
Pukarat baadi tohake bhaktiniya.
Thekua aur naariyal leke aaini,
Soop mein sajaake arag dihini.
Suraj Dev ke mahima gaai ho,
Maiya ke manorath poori paai ho.
Uday ho Dev aur daras dikhaawo,
Bhakt tohaara ghaate par aawo.
Maiya karo manwa ke manorath poora,
Jeevan bhar rahe na kavano bhoola.
