छोटी -मोटी कारी बदरिया
बरसइ बड़ी बूंदन, बरसइ बड़ी बूंदन हो
हो रामा सइयां पड़े हैं महलिया
भीतर चले आवईं, भीतर चले आवईं हो
छोटी -मोटी कारी बदरिया...
मां एक पाँव धरिहीं अंगनवां
दूसर पाँव डहरिया, दूसर पाँव डहरिया हो
तीसरे में जुड़ा है, अपने पलंगिया
पलंगिया मोरे डोलईं हो
छोटी -मोटी कारी बदरिया...

बोल उठी हलचल, ज़माना बदलेगा
आज नहीं तो कल, ज़माना बदलेगा
नहीं चलेगा जोर, यहाँ धन चोरों का
बढ़ जाएगा बल , जमाना बदलेगा
यूं वामन जैसे गीत लिखने वालों को
भूख से लड़कर जीना सीखने वालों को
मिल जाएगा फल, ज़माना बदलेगा
आज नहीं तो...
