Folk Song on Bhai Lakhi Rai Vanjara

Sab that pada rah javega,
Jab lad chalega banjara,
Tu hai Lakkhi banjara,
Tanda tera bhari hai,
Gophal dilme mat rahana tu,
Bahot bada beopari hai (1)
Namakka, misri, kandgiri,
phauhi saman rakhata hai,
Ganim tuze ghabarata hai (2)
Beopar tera sachcha hai,
Aor khudaka tu hai pyara,
Lakha ashrafi, lakkhi tole,
Kon karega bevhara (3)

Nur gajarka tane lagi,
Vemne kaptase mara gaya,
Vo nayak tha merahi dhani (4)

Jab aankajaki chot padi,
Roneka macha hari gul sara,
Samsher bhaloka mara (5)
