verses:

Eji Hun balihaari tame Shaah raajaa,
raajaa het dharine jug baandho ji 1

Eji Nahi kuchh diannaa to nahi kuchh liannaa,
bhaai vannare vaave kem lunnso ji 2

Eji Purann khaadhe toi na dhraannaa
tame matare khaavo Shaah ki gunj ji 3

Eji Mitthadde khaadhe hoi se kaddavaai
bhaai matare khaavo, jiv lobhe ji 4

Eji Dasond khaadhee ranjat hoyse
to tame kiyaa re liaa Shaah naam 5

Eji Shaah ji kaa naale ek nivaalaa
so andhe kaatti lai khaayaa ji 6

Eji Chor ke naale pakadd lai aayaa
tene koi na keve jiv saadh ji 7

Eji Tatiyaa tha(n)bhiyaa tene baath bharaaise
bhaai kunk kare jiv daaddhaa ji 8

Eji Jem gaddulaa jaai maanhe kuaa
tame aap gaddaagadd baandheaa ji 9

Eji Pir Shamsh kaa bettaa Pir boleaa Nasirdin
ame ami-a kanchole saaheb laadhaa ji 10
