| Sthayi | जाग उठे सब जन तुम जागो | Jaag uthe sab jan tum jaago | Everyone has awakened; you too, wake up. |
| Sthayi | गौवन के चरवाल चरैया | Gauvan ke charavaal charaiya | Herder and grazier of the cattle, |
| Antara | ग्वाल बाल सब गौवां चरावत | Gvaal baal sab gauvaan charaavat | all the cowherd boys are grazing the cows. |
| Antara | तुमरे कारन आवत धावत | Tumare kaaran aavat dhaavat | They come running for your sake. |
| Antara | सदारंग मन तुमसों लागो | Sadarang man tumason laago | Sadarang’s heart is attached to you. |
Word notes
Gauvan and gauvaan belong to the pastoral vocabulary of cattle. Gvaal baal are the young cowherds, and dhaavat gives their approach a running urgency. Man tumason laago expresses the heart’s attachment to the one being awakened.
