बामणाचे मुली तुझ्या टोपल्यात राख
एवढे बामण आसता धरला बाबाचा हात आग हात
bāmaṇācē mulī tujhyā ṭōpalyāta rākha
ēvaḍhē bāmaṇa āsatā dharalā bābācā hāta āga hāta

✎ O, Brahmin* lady, there is ash in your basket
Though there are many Brahmins*, you have held hands of Baba

Fille de Bāmaṇ, il y a de la cendre dans ton panier
Alors qu'il y a tant de Bāmaṇ, tu as pris la main de Bābā.
