| Sthayi | कगवा बोले मोरि अटरिया | Kagvaa bole mori atariyaa | A crow calls on my balcony. |
| Sthayi | टरिया सकुन भइलवा | Tariyaa sakun bhailvaa | On the balcony, an auspicious sign has appeared. |
| Sthayi | सखि मोरी भुजवा फरकन लागी | Sakhi mori bhujvaa pharkan laagi | Friend, my arm has begun to twitch. |
| Antara | अव न करो तुम मोरे पियरवा | Av na karo tum more piyarvaa | Do not do so now, my beloved. |
| Antara | डारुं गरे फूलन के हरवा | Daarun gare phulan ke harvaa | I shall place a garland of flowers around your neck. |
| Antara | सखि री उन पर तन मन वारी | Sakhi ri un par tan man vaari | Friend, I offer my body and heart to him. |
