जी रया, जाग रया, तिष्टिया पनपिया
लाग हर्याव, लाग दसई , लाग चैत, लाग पंचमी, लाग बिघौती, लाग बग्वाल   
यो दिन सब दिन भैटें रया
स्याव जसी बुद्धि हो, स्यूं क जस तरान हो
धरती बराबर चाकव हो, आसमान बराबर उंच हो
दुब क जस फबी जाया, जान्ठी टेकी हगन हूँ जाया
सिल पिस भात खाया
बची रया हो दिन यो मॉस भैटन  रया
यो हरियावा क टिक, अगिल हरियाव क न्योत
 Hope All Goes Well!!!
