O! fair Kodinar, she stands on the cursed
mahratta's lands,

[In heavens there was neither moon nor star !]

They were waghirs strong and tall and
they climbed the loop-holed wall;
Then was heard the Banias' wail but
their tears had no avail,
When the king of Okha looted Kodinar.

2

Then a mighty feast he made for the
twice-born and the Dhed,
And the sweet-balls they were scattered
free and far,
Though each Brahmin ate and ate, yet he
emptied not his plate,
When the lord of Gomti looted Kodinar.

3

And they revelled late and longer, and they
chanted many a song.
(O his glory there is nothing that can mar
And the Bhats for gifts did come
and they thumped the kettle drum;
When the prince of Dwarka looted Kodinar.

4

And he gave with open hand to each
maiden in the land
As the sat bedecked within the bridal car,
Though the sports they scarce could tell, not
a single waghir fell;
When Jodha Manik looted Kodinar.
