बाई भरील्या बाजारी काय घेवु मी गुजरी
नार भावजयी बाजारी भेटली कुकू कपाळी देखील मला खुशाली वाटली
bāī bharīlyā bājārī kāya ghēvu mī gujarī
nāra bhāvajayī bājārī bhēṭalī kukū kapāḷī dēkhīla malā khuśālī vāṭalī

✎ Woman, on the market day, what should I buy in the shop
I met sister-in-law in the market
Looking at her kunku*, I could guess that my brother is happy and felt satisfied
