"Lawangku lawang biru... lawang langit lan mahameru... lawang pikir lawan kalbu.
Duh kang kinasih... ing lawangmu anggonku mlebu... metu... Omm lelawanging jagad lelakonku.
Sewu sangangatus suwidak wolu lawang wus dak ketuk lan bukak... seseping sepi ngenthak-enthak.
Gusti... Lelawang kang Sawiji... sajroning lawang-Mu sing dak arep tinuju".
