Maithili Lyrics
जुग-जुग जियसु ललनवा, भवनवा के भाग जागल हो ललना लाल होइहें कुलवा के दीपक, मनवा में आस लागल हो। आजु के दिनवा सुहावन, रतिया लुभावन हो ललना दीदीया के होरिला जनमले, होरिलवा बडा सुन्दर हो। नकिया त हवै बाबूजी के, अँखिया बा दादाजी के हो ललना मुँहवा हवै चंदा सुरुजवा, त सगरो अंजोर भइल हो। सासू सुहागिन बड भागिन, अन धन लुटावेली हो ललना दुरा पर बजेला बधईया, त आंगनवा में सोहर हो। गावेली सोहर सुहावन, सखी सब मिली जुली हो ललना मंगल गावेली देवी, देवता सब खुस भइले हो।
