कपाळीचच कुकु पाण्यामधी पाहु नको
दुबळ्या भरताराला नाव ठेवु नको
kapāḷīcaca kuku pāṇyāmadhī pāhu nakō
dubaḷyā bharatārālā nāva ṭhēvu nakō

✎ Kunku* on your forehead (husband), don’t nurse a hatred against him
Your husband is poor, don’t keep taunting him
▷ (कपाळीचच) kunku (पाण्यामधी)(पाहु) not
▷ (दुबळ्या)(भरताराला)(नाव)(ठेवु) not
