Ae, tu hu karirio he?
Balio maalpo
Thelo he Thelo
Tamein jamya?
Gaadi aaje dus waje aawega
Tamein hu kai riya, samajh ni padti
Kaale apne waage jawanga
Tamein hu kaririya ho?
Baaji kathe gaya he?
Ae melaadra!

Katra waji riya he?

Wana pagtia ni waawri mein
Baandi bhaato kuda mein
Ka shah
Hu thai rayo he?
Kai ni (Nothing
Kaam chaali rayo he
