Lyrics in Hindi (Devanagari)
बेगो बेगो चाल श्याम,
सिंगोली बुलावे रे,
गयोडो भगत पाो,
फेर नहीं आवे।。
सोचा बिचारा तेरा,
काम नहीं आयेगा,
खाली हाथ आया बन्दे,
खाली हाथ जायेगा,
मन की मुरादें थारी,
पुरी हो जावे रे,
गयोडो भगत पाो,
फेर नहीं आवे।。
फुलडोल का मेला माई,
हरी जस मंगल गावाला,
हरीजस मंगल गावाला,
गुण थारा गावाला,
कीयोडा करम थारा,
वहीं फल पावे रे,
गयोडो भगत पाो,
फेर नहीं आवे।。
सिंगोली मंदिर में थारे,
कालु भजन सुणावे रे,
कालु भजन सुणावे बाबा,
गुण थाका गावे रे,
सिंगोली मंदिर में,
बेडा पार हो जावे रे,
गयोडो भगत पाो,
फेर नहीं आवे।。
बेगो बेगो चाल श्याम,
सिंगोली बुलावे रे,
गयोडो भगत पाो,
फेर नहीं आवे।。
