बाई मोये पंजीरी खाने
हट पकरे मोडा गरीब को बाई मोये पंजीरी खाने
बाई मोये पंजीरी खाने, बाई मोये पंजीरी खाने
हट पकरे मोडा गरीब को बाई मोये पंजीरी खाने
बाई मैं तो खेलन गयों, थो कलुआ मोये टेर ले गयो थो
बाके घरे चून भुंज रहो थो, बाने मौखो तनकई दयो थो
ऐसी नोनी लगी पंजीरी, ऐसी नोनी लगी पंजीरी बामें डरे मखाने
हट पकरे मोडा गरीब को बाई मोये पंजीरी खाने
हट पकरे मोडा गरीब को बाई मोये पंजीरी खाने
पुरा भरे में मैं फिर आई, कक्को खों तक दया न आई
आज कन्हैया आठें बेटा, आज कन्हैया आठें बेटा बिरथा फिरो रिसाने
हट पकरे मोडा गरीब को बाई मोये पंजीरी खाने
हट पकरे मोडा गरीब को बाई मोये पंजीरी खाने
तें तो सुनलै बात हमाई मौखों बहुत भूख लग आई
धरो करहिया झट चूल्हें पे, धरो करहिया झट चूल्हे पे अब न करो बहाने
हट पकरे मोडा गरीब को बाई मोये पंजीरी खाने
हट पकरे मोडा गरीब को बाई मोये पंजीरी खाने

Satte Singh Warkade from Mandla district in MP is telling us in Gondi that Govt has made a rule that there will be no exams till class 8. Govt has done it to help students but it is doing great harm. Due to this rule no one takes education seriously and no adivasi and poor children will ever be able to take higher education. Govt should immediately change this rule and make teachers to teach in Govt schools. For more Warkhade Ji can be reached at 08878164102
