Maan pakhare jatheshta mamata achhi
Taa sahita achhi bahuta kichhi
Se kaon karu nahin tike kahantu ta !
Jadi dine ghare na thanti Maan
Samastanka munda garama hoi jaye go Maan.
Maan kebe kuheni
Mun eiya kali seiya kali
Chupchap nija kamare magna
Samastanka pain kama kalebi thaki jayeni.
Maan hatara khadya bhala lage
Tara sabu kichhire achhi anya swada
Kahinki ke jaani kaon achhi tara jadu
Ta hatare khadya hoi jaye amruta, kismis au kaju.
Nijara mana atyanta nirmala o sapha
Ghara o baharaku madhya rakhe sapha sutura
Anyanka pain achhi hrudaya darada bhara
Paribarara mangala pain sahe sheeta o khara.
Maan, aama samastanka unnatire achhi tara hata
Tu ekela kintu, achhi sahashra ghodara takata
Badha-bighna ku kebe bhrukshep kari nahun
Tu aama gharara bajra, dhal o tarual eha aame manun.
Maan to sneha o mamatara aashirbada sabubele aame chahun
To bina dunia lage andhakara o bekabu
Tu chaliba o choliba nischay shikhaechhu
Kintu, to bina dunia lagiba andhakara o asahaya
Tu aama samastanka shakti, to pain achhi aamara bhakti
To daya-drushtiru shesha hoye jiba sabu bhaya
Tu hin deichhu kabacha hebaku nirbhaya.
Maan tu kou dhature gadha?
Kau pani o pabana tiyari hoichhi to pain?
Bhabile, aascharjya chakita hoi jau
To katha barnana karibare aamara shabda hin nahin.
Maa tu namasya, Maa tu pujasya aama samastankara
Tora abadanaku bhuli pariba heba kathina
Tora snehashribadara kamana karibu aame chirakala
Tu hin deichhu aama jeebanare naba sakala
Dhanya tu Maan dhanya, tu jiti paru samastanka mana
Tu sabu bele deu sat-sahasa, dhana-dhaanya.
