Pangasinan Ghazal 14

amagaan la’ra’y lua ed matak
ya tinmerter singa no tagitak

naandi so tanila’y salitak
tan saray talina ‘ran tagitak

say kaderleng tan pakdal a musiak
aliing ed tambayo’y tagitak

anggano say pinablin busilak
lenes o lened lapu’d tagitak

onia so panangaro ya amtak
nen naames na mogmon tagitak

inyamut ko’d sapli’y uran so luak
pian agmo narengel so tagitak

natan et anlemew la’y linawak
amagaan la’ra’y lua ed matak
