Havane Havale (Song)
-----------------------

Have Nav Chhodi Havane Havale
Havani Ho Marji To ane Samale
Ahi Manvi nu Na Kai j chale,
Kudrat ni leela badhu ye samale
thape uthape pachhade ne zale
na samjai pan thai ani kamale

Have Man sada Khush rahe sarve hale —---- have nav

Havani hathelima bandhi haveli
rahi sarve chinta d&or dhakeli
male swapnama ye sungandhi chameli
ane khali pyali ye lage bhareli

Vase vyom ma man rahe na diwale----- Have nav

Hava to chhe hatho prabhuna jane
felavi sahune jivade chhe jane
rahi sache sange, prabhusange mane
dhara par charan ne najar asmane

Khushkismati dubo rang pyale —---- have nav

Bavan Pattani Vat chhe
-----------------------

Jivan biju kai nahi, bavan pattani vat chhe
ekka duri gulam badshah bhagya tani sogat chhe
chahe gujaro roi roine chahe nibhavo hasi hasi
sukhrae gokho dukh gokho, badhu tamare hath chhe.
Kaho nahi ke nabla patta malya amare bhagye chhe
kala shikhi lo ramv.ani to jit tamari sath chhe
aam juvo to har jit a jane shitne tap chhe
kharu puchho be ye jaruri, as to divas-rat chhe.
Saru-narsu maru-tamaru manna sau udhmat chhe
rakh tai chhe sauni sarkhi, vyarth badhi panchat chhe.
