| Sthayi | एरी मका सब सुख दीनो | Eri makaa sab sukh dino | O friend, he has given me every joy: |
| Sthayi | दूध पूत और अन धन लछमी | Dudh put aur an dhan lachhmi | milk, children, food, riches and prosperity. |
| Sthayi | पिया पायो गोबिंद रंग भीनो | Piya paayo Govind rang bhino | I have found my beloved Govind, steeped in love’s colour. |
| Antara | अधम उधारन जस बीस्तारन | Adham udhaaran jas bistaaran | Uplifter of the lowly, spreader of renown, |
| Antara | कृपा करन दुख हरन सुख करन | Kripa karan dukh haran sukh karan | you show mercy, remove sorrow and bring happiness. |
| Antara | आजिज के सब लायक कीनो | Aajij ke sab laayak kino | You have made everything fitting for Aajij. |
