BirhaRa
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


LokeeN poojan rab
MaeN tera birhaRa.
Saahnu sau mahkeyaaN da haj,
Ve tera birhaRa!

Lok kahin maeN suraj baneya,
Lok kahin maeN roshan hoiya.
Saahnu kehi laa gaya ahg,
Ve tera birhaRa!

PiCHe mere mera saaya,
Ahge mere mera nhera.
Kite jaaye na baaheeN CHaD,
Ve tera birhaRa!

Na is vich kise tan di miTi,
Na is vich kise man da kooRa.
AsaaN chaaRh CHaTaaeeya CHaj,
Ve tera birhaRa!

Jad vi gham diyaaN ghaReeyaaN aaeeyaaN,
Le ke peeRaaN te tanhaaeeyaaN,
AsaaN kol biTHaaya sad,
Ve tera birhaRa!

Kadi taaN saathoN shabad raNgaave,
Kadi taaN saathoN geet unaave,
Saahnu lakh sikha geya chaj,
Ve tera birhaRa!

Jad peeRaaN mere paereeN paeeyaaN,
Sidak mere de sadke gaeeyaaN,
TaaN vekhan aaya jahg
Ve tera birhaRa!

AsaaN ja ishkoN rutba paaya,
Lok vadhaaeeyaaN devan aaya,
SaaDe roya gal nu lahg
Ve tera birhaRa!

Maenu taaN kujh akal na kaayi,
Duniya maenu dasan aayi.
Saahnu takhat biTHa geya ahj,
Ve tera birhaRa!
