      سُورِيءَ تي سَئو وارَ،
      ڏِھاڙِئو چَنگِ چَڙھين،
      جِمَ وِرِچِي ڇَڏِيين،
      سِڪَڻَ جِي پَچارَ،
      نِينھُن جِئائِين نِڱِئو.

      sūrīa te sao vāra,
      ḏihāṛio cãgi caṛhẽ,
      jima viricī chaḏīẽ,
      sikaṇa jī pacāra,
      nī̃hũ jiāī̃ niṅio.

        Though hundred times gallows be your lot,
        Give not up the path of love for the Lord,
        Love's secret from its origin is to be sought.
