Mōha sē tērā kamāyā
Rāga: Ēśakē sāmāna saba ēka dina yahāṁ raha jāyēṅgē
Bhāva: Dun’yavī cījanī naśvaratā, āvatā janmanī cintā
Mōhanō tyāga nē dharmanō rāga
Mōha sē tērā kamāyā,
dhana yahāṁ raha jāyagā;
Prēmasē ati puṣṭa kīyā,
tana jalāyā jāyagā.
Prabhubhajanakī bhāvanā bīna,
paralōkamēṁ kyā pāyēgā
Kuccha kamā’i yahāṁ na kīnī,
khālī hāthē jāyēgā.
….Mōhasē.1

Anubhava nātha kuṁ kyuṁ na jagāvē
Anubhava nātha kuṁ kyuṁ na jagāvē?
Ātama anubhava phūla kī, navalī kō’u rīta;
Nāka na pakarē vāsanā, kāna gahē paratīta.
Anubhava nātha kuṁ kyuṁ na jagāvē?
Mamatā saṅga sō pāya ajāgala-thanatēṁ dūdha duhāvē
