melimi bangaru melatallara
kaluvala kannula kannellara
tallulaganna pillallara
vinnaramma ee kathanu.
aatala paatala petikalara
kammani matala kommallara
ammalaganna ammallara
vinnaramma ee kathanu.
kannula kanthulu kaluvala cherenu
melimi jerenu meni pasal
hamsala jerenu nadakala bedagulu
durganu cherenu poornamma.
