vyadhiyu takidaru hinseyu kaḍidaru

1.jivavu illada a cikka magaḷannu

kai hiḍidu jivavannu koṭṭidiye

avaḷige ahara niḍalu heḷidiye

2.jivavu illada a yauvanastha nannu

matininda jivavannu koṭṭidiye

tayige avanannu oppisidiye

3.jivavu illada alajaranige

kaṭṭugaḷa bicciri endu heḷideye

4.jivavu illada i dasana kareda

pritiyinda arisi koṇḍidiye

jivavannu koṭṭu naḍesidiye
