Dhol Sammi
-
Awal hamd khudawand tayen jo he malik sabh da
-
Baghdad aaha ik shehar sunenda andr room walayat
-
Rani sami di kurrmai honi badshah dhol naal
-
Lagi de sagan chuhara pher pichanh sadhaya
-
Sun ke bohat khushi vich aai sami sundar rani
-
Orrak ik ghulam sami ne namak halal bulaya
-
Saaf jawab ghulaman ditta sathon pohnch na howe
-
Akhir pakarr daleri os ne kamar ajehi badhi
-
Khol jawab wao ne ditta na haan chakar teri
-
Taan phir rowan lagi shehzadi sun ke eh sunehrra
-
Badshah Dhol da Rani Sammi noon milan damishq jana
-
Gai ghami te shadi aai lage charan chufere
-
Sammi keha chorr diyan tad jekar dhol malawen
-
Taan phir marg tiyari kiti ho dil sher sipahi
-
Ik din dao ajeha laga bagh andr chal aaye
-
Sammi bohat khushi vich aai sun ke eh sanehrra
-
Sunya maan sammi di aya mera dhol jawai
-
Dhol badshah de pichon raaj vich kharabi honi
-
Dhol shehzade da ik tota sundar naam sadawe
-
Peron khol tarrai rassi naap gaye nath owen
-
Tote da damishq noon jana ute gherya jana
-
Pohnchi arz janab ilahi suneyan aap satari
-
Tota aah zulam di mare ronda zaro zari
-
Dhol badshah ka jawab, tote ka apne mulk rawana hona
-
Shahzade Dhol da apne mulk noon sanbhalna
