" हमार झारखण्ड है, तोहार झारखण्ड है,
और जो बच गए जोहार झारखण्ड है!
ज़मीन के पथरीले बदन पर जंगल है,
पेट के भीतर लोहा है, सोना भी.
कोयला है, कोलियरी है, कारखाना है भारी,
सैयां करते जी कोल बाजारी है.
दक्षिण भी नहीं, जो है वो थोड़ा वामपंथ है.
झारखंड के जंगल में मंगल हो रहा है.
बुध्धू हंडिया का सोम चढ़ा के 
गुरु को शुक्र है शुक्र है कह रहा है "
