1. Gaay duhe, bin chhane laavai, garamaa garam turant chadhaavai.
Badhe bal aur buddhi bhaai, Ghaagh kahe sachchi batlaai.
गाय दुहै, बिन छानै लावै, गरमा गरम तुरंत चढ़ावै।

2. Chaite gud Baisaakhe tel, jethe panth, Aashaadhe bel.
Saawan saag na Bhaado Dahee,Kwaar karelaa na Kaatik Mahee.
Agahan Jeera poose dhanaa, Maaghee mishree Phaagun chanaa.
Ye baarah jo dey bachaay, vahi ghar baid kabo na jaay.
चैते गुड़ बैसाखे तेल, जेठे पन्थ अषाढ़े बेल।
सावन साग न भादो दही, क्वार करेला न कातिक मही।

ये बारह जो देय बचाय, वही घर बैद कबौं न जाय।
