Lyrics in Hindi (Devanagari)
राजारामजी मार्गियो बताया रे,
गुरू समझाया,
थे करलो सुकृत काम,
मानुष तन पाया।。
लख चौरासी ने काटे ने आया,
फैरा काटे ने आया,
अरे होसी जीव कल्याण,
प्रभु ने भजीयां।。
मती कर थुतो माया माया,
साथ में नही लाया,
नही आसी उपर साथ,
सुधारो काया।。
अरे सत्संग करलो सगला भाया,
सुनलो बहन भाया,
हरि भजनो सु होवो पार,
किर्तन करीया।。
पर निन्दा और छोड़ों,
चुगलियां बीरा छोडो़ बुराया,
बीरा विरथा समय गमायो,
झुी हताया।。
शिकारपुरा रा संत विरला कहाया,
रे विरला कहाया,
बीरा भूद्राराम महिमा सुनाया,
महेंद्र बावतरा भजन बनाया।。
राजारामजी मार्गियो बताया रे,
गुरू समझाया,
थे करलो सुकृत काम,
मानुष तन पाया।。
