Translation:

Eji Navrojna din sohaamña
(On the Marvelous day of Navroz)
Shri Hari kaayam shikaar ramva van gaya

Sevakna man thaya udaasi

Praañ Hari charñe rahya
(but his heart remained at the feet of God)

Eji Shri kaayam preete jo chint baandhi
(With my mind fixed upon my Love for the Lord of the Resurrection)
Narne preete ame van gaya
(I went to the forest in my love for the Lord)
Eva van sohaamña shri Saheb ditha
(In the forest of marvels I beheld the Lord)
Dil dai Devta rahya
(who ever Divinely bestowed me an audience)

Eji Bhalu(n) thayu(n) Sahebe soomat aali
(Oh how good it was to receive the Blessing of God!)
Shri Hari kaayam saathe ramva ame van gaya

Anant aasha puri hamaari

Eji Bhai re moman tame bhaave aaraadho
