زِندٕ روزنہ باپتہ چھی مران لُکھ

ژٕ مرکھ نا

لوتہِ پٲٹھؠ چیکھا پیالہٕ کیوہو

اُف تہِ کَرَکھ نا

نہ چھُ دارِ الان پَردٕ نہ چھُ

براندٕ دزان ژونگ

واوس چھُ ونان کاو ژٕ

مولوٗم کَرَکھ نا

متو راور تٕہ عرفانک اثر ہو

سفر کٔرؠ کٔرؠ تِہ چھ وُنِہ باقی سفر ہو

چھ وُنِہ کیاہ تام پرٕگی کایٔناتس

توے گتھ گتھ کران شمس و قمر ہو

ستارٔو زول کۆرمت کایٔناتس

خبرکوت پیٹھ کران آدم سکھر ہو
