NOVO JIV




Sanjecho vell zala
Ani bhair kallok poddla
Volter-ar boson zaitem dixtti poddta....
Zhaddam, nokhetram ani sogllem jem ghoddta
Mhaka dixtti poddtta. Punn hanv pollena....
Mhojem mon thoim bilkul vochona.

Chintna bhonvtat mhoje motint
Bhair tanka ghalunk kotthin
Bako ietat te bhaxen chintnam
Bejar kortat, ani mhaka soddina
Angachi khoroz tori bori.....
Hi sankholl mhojer Deva, kiteak ghatli?


Aim lok mhonnttalet, ho fatra bhaxen nibor
Atam hanstat - to zala sarko gobor
Mhoje churchure kortat
"Baba, sodd tea chintnnachi vatt
Kitem melltta tujka oxem korun?
Oddik borem kiteim kam' hatin dovrunk....


Matharponn ailem mhunnttokoch
Jivak na bilkul ruch
Adel bhaxen ghottai na,
Rogot mhojem nivlam
Kainch korum xem disona
Fokot dolle dhampun volterar bostana
Chintop ieta hi rat kobar zateli
Vo sasnachi sasnak urteli?


Suskar soddun tuzo ugddas kortam
Dorieache lharam bhaxen ietat tim chintnam
Bilkul pixi zalea mhoji tokli
Hanv zannam hi vatt bori nhoi
Saiba magtam dusro marog dakhoi
Zaitem hanvem hea sonvsarant sonslem
Azun pasun mhaka dadosponn favo na?


Him mhojim chintnam, aiz kal, mhojea mogall
Kortam tuzo ugddas rat, dis ani sokall
Opekxitam kallzant than ki zo mog ami kelolo
Atam mhaka novo jiv ditolo......
