CHOPAAI :

Jai Mahavir Dayalu Swami, Veer prabhu tum jag mein nami.

Vardhman hai naam tumhara, lage hirday ko pyara pyara.

Shanti chavi or mohini murat, shan hansili sohini surat.

Tumne vesh digambar dhara, karm-shatru bhi tum say hara.

Krodha maan aru lobh bhagaya, maha-moh tumse dar khaya.

Tu sarvgya sarva ka gyata, tujhko duniya se kya naata.

Tujhpe nahi raag or dvesh, veer ran raag tu hitopdesh.

Tera naam jagat me sachaa, jisko jane bachaa bachaa,

Bhoot prait tumse bhay khave, vyantar rakshas sab bhag jave.

Maha vyadh mari na satave, maha vikral kaal dar khave.

Kala naag hoy fun-dhari,ya ho sher bhayanker bhari.

Na ho koi bachane wala, swami tumhi karo pratipala.

Agni dawanal sulag rahi ho, tej hawa se sulag rahi ho.

Naam tumhara sab dukh khovay, aag ek dum thandi hovay.

Hinsamay tha bharat sara, tab tum ne kina nistara.

Janam liya kundalpur nagri,hui sukhi tab praja sagri,

Siddharth ji pita tumhare, trishla kay aankho kay taare.

Chod sabi jhanjhat sansari, swami hue bal- brahmachari.

Pancham kaal maha-dukhdai, chandanpur mahima dikhlai.

Teelay me atishay dikhlaya, ek gaay ka dudh giraya.

Soch huwa man me gwale kay, pahuncha ek fawda leke.

Sara teela khod bagaya, tab tumne darshan dikhlaya.

Jodharaj ko dukh nay ghera, usne naam japa jab tera.

Thanda hua top ka gola, tab sabne jaikara bola.

Mantri ne mandir banwaya,raja ne bhi dravya lagwaya.

Badi dharmshala banwai, tumko laane ko thahrai.

Tumne todi biso gadi, pahiya khaska nahi agadi.

Gwale ne jo hath lagaya, fir to rath chalta he paya.

Pahile din baishaak vadi kay, rath jata teer nadi kay.

Mina gujar sab he aate, naach kood sab chit umgate.

Swami tumne prem nibhaya, gwale ka bahu maan badaya.

Hath lage gwale ka jab he, swami rath chalta hai tab he.

Meri hai tutti si nayyaa, tum bin koi nahi khivaiya.

Mujh par swami jara kripa kar, mein hoon prabhu chakar tumhara.

Tumse mein aru kuch nahi chahun, janam janam tere darshan paaun.

chalisa ko chadra banave, beer prabhu ko sheesh navave.

SORTHA

Nit Chalishi Baar, Path Kare Chaalis Din.
Khey Sugandh Apaar, Vardhman Kay Sammne.
Hoay Kuber Samaan, Janam Daridri Hoay Jo.
Jiske Nahi Santan, Naam Vansh Jag Mein Chale.
