Tôpai ko dhaa kuiro jhai parda tharkanchan pâpi man Dasai ra târikh unis sau pandra marca kâ mainá m& Sikin ard Gôrkhà bahaduri bhayo Lestar kâ bâd må. Titarai câkorai banai mi mare pic nambar charrå lo: Påcai ra lainai Jarmani pare masingan parrå le. Tôpai ko phaira dan danai bhayo Phrisi kâ phatak mã ; Sikin Tard Gørkhå bahaduri bhayo Nyosepal atek m&. Tôpai kâ góla jhimjhimi kundâ râmârâm bhanda chan: Ghôpto ra cepto sathi bhậi marda kasai le ganda chan!

Translation. Gurkha soldiers to slay the enemy was the Master's order. A song of the war will I make. Have pity, 0 Káli.
They meet together on such a day. “Make not friendship with the soldiers. There is my younger brother: with him I leave thee soon. Be not grieved nor troubled; I shall return in time of peace." "Alas, brothers !” Thus in the lines the children began to make lament.
"O my lover, thou wilt leave me and go. How can I remain ? How shall I bear the immeasurable grief of parting from my husband ?"
The see-wind blew away the hats from our heads. From year fourteen to year eighteen the fighting did not cease.
When I reach Marseilles I cannot count the ships of the sea. Shall we live to return to India ? That I cannot say.
