Nee hinga nodabyada...

- Da.Ra. Bendre

nee hinga nODabyaDa nanna
nee hinga nODidare nanna
tirugi naa hyAnga nODalE ninna? ||

samsAra sAgaradAga lekkaviradashTu dukhada banDi
naa balle nanage gotilladiddaru elli Acheya danDi
malagiruva kUsu malagirali alli mundinadu dEvara chitta
naa taDeelAre adu yAka nODatee matta matta nee itta?

dArile nenede kai hiDidu neenu taNNAga anta tiLidu
biDavolli innunU boodi mucchida kenDa idanta hoLedu
mugilana kapparisi nelaka biddara nelaka neli ellinna
aa gAdi mAtu nambi naanu dEvaranta tiLidiyEna nee nanna?

ibbani toLedaru hAlu mettidA kavaLi kanTiya haNNu
hoLe hoLeva hAnga kaNNiruva heNNu  hELu ninnavEna ee kaNNu?
digilAgi annatada jeeva ninna kaNNAre kanDu ommigila
huNNivi chandirana heNa bantO mugilAga tElata hagala

ninna kaNNinAga kAloori maLeyu naDa naDaka hucchu nagi yAka?
