Thanks Bharatbhai,
It sound like deve man ki pujari. Does it makes sense to you. The last word is dicey.

Nitin-ji,
The meaning of the whole phrase is that
“My troubled sole in CURSING ME for ruining my young age, by being in love with an Un-grateful person”
O dukhiya jiyara DEVE MAIKA GAARI, bequadaron se preet laga kar baali umariya gawan li

Atul-ji – Nitin-ji,
Thanks for the melodious song, which was a favorite song of my elder brother, who used to often sing it beautifully, and that has became my permanent pleasant childhood memory.
The line not clear Nitin-ji is
‘deve maika gaari’
Bharat
