Lyrics in Hindi (Devanagari)
सेवादार बना ले दरबार का,
तेरे मंदिरा च रवा झाड़ू मारदा।।
तेरे बागे में लगे है सितारे बाबा,
जैसे अंबर में चांद और तारे बाबा,
जलवा देखा मैंने खाटू दरबार का,
जलवा देखा मैंने तेरे दरबार का,
तेरे मंदिरा च रवा झाड़ू मारदा।।
आलू सिंह जी द्वारे तेरे आए बाबा,
तेरी महिमा के बारे में गाए बाबा,
परचम लहराया है बाबा तेरे नाम का,
परचम लहराया है खाटू वाले धाम का,
तेरे मंदिरा च रवा झाड़ू मारदा।।
कृपा तेरी से चला मेरा काम है,
तेरी कृपा से ही तो मेरा नाम है,
दर पर आया जब मैं पहली पहली बार था,
दर्शन पाया तेरा पहली पहली बार था,
तेरे मंदिरा च रवा झाड़ू मारदा।।
सेवादार बना ले दरबार का,
तेरे मंदिरा च रवा झाड़ू मारदा।。
