શું વાત કરું હું ! આવે ઉધરસ ખાસી,
બળખા પડે સવારે, દિન પંદરની વાત સાચી…(૨)
તાવ જીણો સાંજ સમાનો, મજામાં આઘી પાછી,
શરીર પડ્યું પાછું થોડું, લાગે ભૂખ ઓછી…(૩)
વાત કાલ બપોરની,કફમાં લોહી પડયાની,
છાતીમાં દરદ થયેલ, એવા દસ દાડાની…(૪)
કફ તપાસવા આપો, પડાવી લ્યો ફોટો,
સાચો સમજો રોગને, રહે વહેમ ના ખોટો…(૫)
પરિણામ તપાસનું જો, ક્ષય રોગ બતાવે,
સજ્જન સમજી રોગને, આરોગ્ય પાછું લાવે… (૬)
