Iki gêgambaran awur-awuran Kang ora adoh saka kasunyatan Sing cilik, pacêklik Sing gêdhe, nglimpe
Kahanan sangsaya katon kaya paprangan Pêranging kanêpson mungsuh kawêlasan Kang padha kuwasa birahi ambungahi Tumindak cidra tanpa rasa ngrumangsani
Padha rumangsa idune kuwi idu gêni Tanpa krasa mênawa sih trêsnane wis mati Padha rumangsa uripe wis kêbak kabungahan Tanpa krasa rakyate padha kacingkrangan
Kaya ngene iki lêlakoning nêgaraku Apa kowe tau krungu? Kudune tau krungu Amarga nêgaraku, ya nêgaramu
Apa kaya mangkene kang sinêbut ratu agung Saisine praja amung kêbak rasa kêduwung Panguwasa kang ancik-ancik mangewu kunarpa Dhampar gadhing kang sinungging sarana ludira
Apa kaya mangkene kang sinêbut katrêsnan jati Pangarêp-arêp mungguh bisa urip mukti dadi siji Ajur ilang kêsaput lêlakon nggêgirisi ing uni Kang ora bakal bisa ilang lan ora bisa dilali
Apa kaya mangkene kang sinêbut korbaning panguwasa Bubat nyêkseni anggone mbabati nyawaning manungsa Kabeh katut kêna siku dhêndha nadyan kang tanpa dosa Ilang musna jejering ratu kang kudu duweni rasa pangrasa
Apa kaya mangkene kang sinêbut korbaning katrêsnan Trêsna suci sêjati kang dudu napsuning panguwasan Ludirane bangsamu lan uga ludiramu kutah nêlêsi bumi iki Dadi pêpeling tumrap mapaning kamanungsan rong negari
Apa kaya mangkene lêlakon kang kudu daklakoni Ingsun ratu nanging jêjibahan ora bisa daktêtêpi Apa kaya mangkene lêlakonmu dhuh kusumayu Wangine asmamu pupus mung mêrga deksuraku
