गजब हाल बा

हरेश्वर राय,


लोग देसवा में लेइके सवाल घूमत बा
मोर बालम बिमान से नेपाल घूमत बा।

जेकरा टिकठ एमेले के चाहीं असों
ऊ कइ - कइ गो लेके दलाल घूमत बा।

जेकर रेकड़ पुरान जान मारे के बा
उ अंजुरिया में लेइके गुलाल घूमत बा।

जवन चोर- बटमरवन के सरदार बा
अपना संगे ऊ लेके कोतवाल घूमत बा।

जेकरा कठीयो जरावे के नइखे सहूर
ऊहो हाथ में उठवले मसाल घूमत बा।
