basantu baNi rawidas ji ki tujhahi sujhanta kachhu nahi
bhairau baNi rawidas jiu ki binu dekhe upjai nahi aasa
khaTu karam kul sanjugatu hai hari bhagti hiradai nahi
ragu kedara baNi rawidas jiu ki khaTu karam kul sanjugatu hai hari bhagti hiradai nahi
ragu suhi baNi sri rawidas jiu ki sah ki sar suhagani jaanai
