Maen kanddiyaali thor ve sajana
Uggi vich ujaaddaan.
Jaan uddadi badaloti koi,
Var gayi vich pahaddan.
Jaan o deeva jehdda balda,
Piraan di dehri te,
Jaan koi koel kantth jide diyaan,
Sootiyan jaavan naaddaan.
Jaan chambe di daali koi
Jo baalan ban jaaye,
Jaan marueh da phull basanti,
Jo tthoong jaan gutaaraan.
Jaan koi boat ki jis de haale
Nain nahin san khulle,.
Maareya maali kass gulela
Le daakhaan diyaan aaddaan.
Maen kanddiyali thor ve sajana,
Uggi vich kuraahe.
Na kisse maali sinjeya mennu
Na koi sinjana chaahe.
Yaad teri de ucche mahileen,
Men baitthi payi rovaan,
Har darvaaze lagga pehra,
Aavaan kehdde raahe?
Men o chandari jis di doli,
Lutt layi aap kahaaraan,
Banhan di thaan babul jisde
Aap kalire laahe.
Kuli patt umar di chaadar
Ho gayi leeraan leeraan`
Tiddak gaye ve thovaan wale
Palangh vassal layi daahe.

Maen kanddiyaali thor ve sajana,
Uggi vich jo bele,
Na koi mere chhaaveen baithe,
Na patt khaavan lele.
Men raaje di bardi addeya
Tun raaje da jaaya,
Tuiyon das ve mohraan saahven,
Mul ki khovan ghele?
Sikhar dupehraan jeth diyaan nu
Saun kiven men aakhaan?
Chauheen kooteen bhaaven lagan
Lakh dhiyaan de mele.
Teri meri pareet da addeya
Ohiyo haal su hoya,
Jyun chakavi pehchaan na sakke
Chann chaddeya deun vele.

Maen kandiyaali thor ve sajana
Uggi vich jo baaggaan.
Mere mudd banaayi varmi
Kaale phaniyar naagaan.
Men murgaayi maansaraan di
Jo phadd layi kise shikare.
Jaan koi laali paer sindoori
Noch laye jide kaagaan.
Jaan sassi di bhaen ve duji
Kamm jida bas rouna
Lutt khaddeya jidha Punnu hotaan
Par aiyaan na jaagaan.
Baagaan vaaleya tere baageen
Hun ji nahiyon lagda,
Khali-khaloti maen vaaddaan vich
Sau sau dukhade jhaagaan.
