मैतुडा बुलालि ब्व़े , ब्वेई होली जोंकी
मेरी जिकुड़ी म ब्व़े , कुयड़ी सी लौंकी
लाल बअणि होली ब्व़े , काफूळ कि डाळी
लोग खांदा होला ब्व़े , ल़ूण राळी राळी
गौं कि दीदी-भूलि ब्व़े, जंगळउं मा जाली
कंडी कंडी भोरि भोरि ब्व़े , हिसर बिराली
बाडुळी लागलि ब्व़े , आग भभराली
बोई बोडि होली ब्व़े, मैत आली-आली
याद औंद मीतैं ब्व़े , अपड़ा भूलौं की
मेरी जिकुड़ी म ब्व़े कुयड़ी सि लौंकी
ल्हाली कुरो गाडिब्वे , गौं कि बेटी ब्वारी
हैरी भरीं होली ब्व़े , गेउं जौ कि सारी
यूँ बार मैनों कि ब्व़े, बार ऋतू आली
जौंकि बोई होली ब्व़े , मैतुड़ा बुलाली
मैतु ऐई गे होली ब्व़े , दीदी-भूलि गौंकी
मेरी जिकुड़ी म ब्व़े कुयड़ी सि लौंकी
स्वामी जी हमेशा परदेश रैने
साथ का दगड्या ब्व़े , घर आई गैने
ऊंको प्यारो ह्व़े गे ब्व़े, बिदेसो कु वासअ
बाठा देखी देखी ब्व़े, गेनी दिन मॉसअ
बाडुळी लागलि ब्व़े , आग भभराली
या त घअर आला ब्व़े , या त चिठ्ठी आली
