               Extract of South Asian Folk Song He Dari Paran

 Important is my Mat
Somebody theft my Mat
I am calling all villagers for my Mat
My life is my Mat
 I ate twenty breads for worrying for my Mat
I asked village council chief for my Mat
My husband asked Patwari  (Police Constable ) for my Mat
Gatekeeper was asked for my Mat
Thokdar was asked for my Mat
I request for showing my Mat
The village council session was called for my Mat
People came to know about my Mat
It was in the room of village council chief, My Mat! 
I dehydrate cereals on my Mat
My husband’s elder brother is sitting on Balcony how to thrash cereals, forget about my Mat
He would get my curse that who steals My Mat

First, the girls and women will take rifle training
Then males would take rifle training
Havaldar blew the whistle to start training
As military trainer became attentive as we too became attentive in physical training
Three groups are made groups for rifle training
Our trainer Havaldar was pleased to see our rifle training

हरभरा का बुरांश लाल काफुळुन् की डाळी
कन खाला दीदी भूली लूण मा राळि राळी
डांडों मा गीत लगौंणा  गोरुं  का ग्वेर छोरा
ऐ जा भैरों तु घौरा   ऋतु  बसंता का  धोरा I
टुप टुप गळीगे डांडा कांठौ  छोड़िगे
मौळी ऐगे मौऴयार फूल रंगीला फूलिगे
टकटकी सि हेरदा रात रातूं चकोरा
ऐ जा भौंरा तु घौरा ऋतु  बसंता का  धोरा
