भूपालां बातां हद भावे,
शब्द सवा वे घणा सकाज ।
देह दराज दीशता डारणा,
राजां बीच सोहे कवराज ।
</poem>}}
|<blockquote>{{Lang|en|<poem>
bhūpālāṃ bātāṃ hada bhāve, śabda savā ve ghaṇā sakāja ।
deha darāja dīśatā ḍāraṇā, rājāṃ bīca sohe kavarāja ।
</poem>}}</blockquote>

|{{Lang|mwr|<poem>
राजी सख सभा ने राखे,
सहज सभावों घणा शिरे ।
धजवड़ हथां मारका घूतां,
कव रजपूतां अमर करे ।
</poem>}}
|<blockquote>{{Lang|en|<poem>
rājī sakha sabhā ne rākhe, sahaja sabhāvoṃ ghaṇā śire ।
dhajavaḍā hathāṃ mārakā ghūtāṃ, kava rajapūtāṃ amara kare ।
