दिंडले चिमा - Dindle Chima
तान्ह्या माझ्या बाळा तू विहिर मी बारव
तुझ्या जिवासाठी मी रातीची झाले कारव
tānhyā mājhyā bāḷā tū vihira mī bārava
tujhyā jivāsāṭhī mī rātīcī jhālē kārava
My little son, you are a well and I am the well with steps built in stone
For your sake I became a Karav bush in the forest
▷ (तान्ह्या) my child you (विहिर) I (बारव)
▷  Your (जिवासाठी) I (रातीची) become (कारव)

Notes =>Karav is a plant which dies once it has had flowers and its seeds fall. It finds fulfilment in blossoming into flowers and dies. A mother has the same feeling and hence, she compares herself with Karavi. Karavi is also useful for making a fence, roof and walls of a hut. Similarly, a mother becomes the shelter and protection for her son.
Every year Karavi plant becomes lush green after the arrival of monsoon. After the monsoon, all leaves fall and only dried stems remain. This routine continues for seven year and in the eighth year, around September-October, the plant blossoms into purple-coloured flowers. After the bloom is over, flowers give seeds and seeds fall on the ground and the plant dies. The fallen seeds continue the lineage of the plant. When monsoon comes the seeds sprout into plants, thus continuing the cycle of life.
