      नींदिया बैरिन सुधि बिसराई,
      सेज निगोड़ी करे ढिठाई,
      तान मारे सौत जुन्हाई,
      रह-रह प्राण पिरात,
      चुभन की बात न करना!
      आज बसंत की रात,
      गमन की बात न करना।
      nīndiyā bairin sudhi bisrāī,
      sej nigoṛī kare ḍhiṭhāī,
      tān māre saut junhāī,
      rah-rah prāṇ pirāt,
      cubhan kī bāt na karnā!
      āj basant kī rāt,
      gaman kī bāt na karnā.
