rang devi ati rang badhavai. nakh sikh lauan bhooshan pahiravai॥
bhaanti bhaanti ke bhooshan jete. savadhan hvai rakhat tete॥
kamal kesari abha tan ki. badi sakti hai chitr likhin ki॥
tan par sari phabi rahi, japa puhup ke rang.
thadhi sab abharan liye, jinake prem abhang॥
kalakanthi aru sasi kala, kamala ati hi anoop.
madhurianda aru sundari, kandarpa ju saroop॥
prem manjari so kahai, komalata gun gath.
eto sab ras mean pagi, rang devi ke sath॥
