आस दिवाळीच्या दिवशी उटण करते साबणाच
वडिल ना बंधवाच गोर अंग ना बामणाच
āsa divāḷīcyā divaśī uṭaṇa karatē sābaṇāca
vaḍila nā bandhavāca gōra aṅga nā bāmaṇāca

✎ On Diwali* day, I make a fragrant paste to be applied as soap
My elder brother, an important person in the village, has a fair skin

Le jour de Diwali je fais une pâte parfumée comme savon
Le corps de mon frère aîné a la blancheur d'un Brahman.
