ग्राम-नैगवा रैयत,पंचायत-नन्दरा,विकासखंड-मवई,जिला-मंडला (मप्र) से धनसिंग परते एक गीत गा रहे हैं, जब शादी होती हैं तब गया जाता हैं,और ये विरह गीत हैं :
चकमका ठोकी-ठोकी अलिया में चले गए-
चले गए की कोयली कचार-
अरे झारे गए की कोयली कचार-
की राफा फाके भगदर पड़े हैं-
चीटिया रे की परे लामा डोर-
अरे चीटिया रे की परे लामा डोर-
बच गए रे भैया मोरे मितैहा-
डिगी-डिगी की बाजा बजाये-
अरे डिगी-डिगी रे की बाजा बजाये-
एक बाजा गूंजे सुन मोने दिपेने-
दूसरे चरक मांडीयाय-
अरे एक बाजा गूंजे सुन मोने दिपेने-
दूसरे चरक मुंडियाय-
हरे…हरे...
