Rame raam nun dhoondhan de layi janglan de vich jaawan kayi;
Rame raam nun dhoondhan de layi ang bhabhoot lagavan kayi.
Rame raam nun dhoondhan de layi sunn Samadhi lavan kayi;
Rame raam nun dhoondhan de layi ganga jamuna nhaavan kayi.
Rame raam nun dhoondhan de layi pooja path rakhawan kayi;
Rame raam nun dhoondhan de layi peer fakeer manavan kayi.
Rame raam nun dhoondhan de layi apna aap lutavan kayi;
Rame raam nun dhoondhan de layi dar dar dhakke khavan kayi.
Haumen te chaturaayiyan chhad ke sadh sharan jo jande nen;
Kahe avtar kare gur kirpa nij ghar vasa pande nen.
