5 Raja Narpat pagiye di sunno :
" Sach bole, mere Regaii, kare japa tosi "
" Kene japa^ Sabibaj dukha sukhi lai "
" Tosi sacli bolo, mere Regaru, Raja kolhu de pilo."
" Hamen lai; Raja Sahiba, mawawi ri gallo."
10 Manj Desliu da, Rajia, Syama bana mawawi.
Mahil re badharo kho marigi ohambi ri bahi.
Chambi ri bahi da kara Raja dekhS,.
Sat hoe Rajawali kara bina ditta.
" Kora ano mora kagat, kalam rft dawat.
15 Pahil likho chithi da Ram meri salam
Dfiji likho chithi da pionoli raghes.
Kebe ave meri Nahan khi, kebe rove nan mere deshl."
Tabe do Raja re chakaro Sohini khi dive.
Sohini jairo go6 chaure baithi.
20 Syami ri rangari mori manji dekhi
Syami ri rangail bhari lai narilo ;
Chaure khi ai hath ditta narelta.
Bavin pairo bando.
" Syama mawawi Sohini ra ghare hola ke gaven "
25 " Syama sutti rove Jaiya bangali ri daphi."
" Tisha bio koih adimi jo Syami deo jagavi "
Tabe Thulie laya beti thali da chhenaka.
Sutta honda seh Syama jhumkiru jaga.
" TJba uthe, bapua, goe Ravale ave."
80 "Kene khai na, betie, Ravele ri khati."
Age nikalo bahiro khi sauri ro daliohe.
Manji raune Sohini re bichi goi satranji.
