Dhauda dhuada dhora

Dhora

Dhauda dhuada dhora uzli nirmal ret
(This land is pious and white in colour)

Kan kan chamke chandani
(Everything glitters in the moonlight)

Kan kan chamke chandani, jyun chandira ke khet
(Its each and every part looks like a farm of silver under moonlight)

Aa dharti gora dhaura ri,
(This land is pious and white in colour)

Aa dharti meetha morari
(On this land peacocks sing in their sweet and melodious voice)

Ee dharti ro rutabo ucho ucho,
(It has its pride which is very high)

Aa baat kahe kucho kucho
(In far across the countries also people speak high of it)

Jabar ju jiya dhora dharti
(The martryrs who died on this land)

Dukhda dekhiya paga paga
(Have witness hardships at every step in their life)

Pad aazaadi hivade rakhe
(But still they kept the love for freedom very near to their heart)

Unn viro ne ghani khamma
(I salute those martyrs)

Panna haadi meera bai kan kan janri khyati gaayi
(Panna Dhhaya and Meera Bai’s every sacrifice I am singing)

Tyaag tapasya ghani anuthi

Daadu ishar dhanna aadi sis ghanera jhule Samadhi
(Even today people pay respect at the temple of great Daadu, Ishar and Dhanna)

Malinaath pipoji jeda

Dhola maaru mumal mahendra chandi jedi ret smandar
(Story of Dhola Maaru and Moomal is like sea of silver sand)

Yaad revela itihaaso mein

Paani paanch kos majboori
(We have to travel miles to collect water)

Paani paanch kos majboori ram ruthlo kheto eeri
(We have to travel miles to collect water and resultant our harvest gets destroyed)

Haq ghar baith naadli takhta

Unn haq ne ghanni khamma

Inn dharti par bira surajindra geet gaaviye pura
(The brave who became martyrs after giving a fight to enemies, I sing about them)

Kahe Kailash inn dharti upar
