Pachaasai Barshama Lyrics
Pachaasai barshama jugg kaha pugyo ni
Gahrai bho imaana ko manchhe bhetina
Daam cha hajur k lai bhanne bahar bachho damchha
Baachey theu ra yasari bhet huna paamchha
Dhaan ko balo hariyo ta kodo balo jhumre
Lokharkeko puchchhar jasto dahri junga umre
Bhaatai mitho jetho budho tiuna mitho siltung
Bainsa chhadai jhalalala umera dhalke jhiltung
Gaala bhijyo suparile ootha bhijyo paana le
Sabailai raksha garun unakai bhagawan le
Pachaasai barsha ma jug kaha pugyo ni
Gahrai bho imaana ko manchhey bhetina
Dhunge dhara sansarbaar mahilo luga dhum
Ess paliko rahu ketu shukra shani
Aaita som mangal budh brihaspati
Ulka bhamari nawai graha shani sankat
Aadi dasha bar rashi hamro grihama
Sada sarwada sukh shanti chhaos
Sabaiko jaya jaya hos, jay jay jay hosh
Charai kuna chaupariko barai kunna daha
Samjha bujha maanako baha kasailai ta kaha
Faldai jaun phooldai jaun chitaeko pugun
Aaaaphnai bhagawanle rakshe gari rakhun
Pachaasai barshama jugg kaha pugyo ni
Gahrai bho imaana ko manchhe bhetina
Eh haina haina, kai na kai
Satya ra immanako manchhe bhetinchha!
