| Sthayi | सब मिलि गावो बजावो मिरदंग | Sab mili gaavo bajaavo mirdang | All together, sing and play the drum. |
| Sthayi | आज हमारे लालन जू की बरसगांठ | Aaj hamaare laalan ju ki barsagaanth | Today is our dear child’s birthday. |
| Antara | कनक थार भर भर | Kanak thaar bhar bhar | Fill and refill the golden trays, |
| Antara | मूक्ता फल कर | Mukta phal kar | with pearls in hand, |
| Antara | करि न्यौछावर पायो | Kari nyauchhaavar paayo | having made a loving offering, they received… |
| Sanchari | नव नव पल्लवन की माला | Nav nav pallavan ki maala | Garlands of fresh, fresh leaves— |
| Sanchari | द्वारन द्वारन बंधायो | Dvaaran dvaaran bandhaayo | have them hung at door after door. |
| Abhog | बंसीधर प्रभु को जस सुनियत है | Bansidhar prabhu ko jas suniyat hai | The praise of Lord Bansidhar is heard. |
| Abhog | सबही को लागत है सुहायो | Sabhi ko laagat hai suhaayo | Everyone finds it pleasing. |
