aba thaare bina kuNa morI raakhe laaja
the to teja mahaana kahaao timIra haro mahaaraaja
jina jina dhyaaye tina tina paaye
mope bipadaa paDI bhaarI
jasa saavarata naahI aaja
Devnagri
अब थारे बिन कुण मोरी राखे लाज
थे तो तेज महान कहाओ तिमीर हरो महाराज
जिन जिन ध्याये तिन तिन पाये
मोपे बिपदा पडी भारी
जस सावरत नाही आज
