Jasoda hari palnain jhulavai ।
Halravai, dularai malhavai, joi-soi kachhu gavai ॥
Mere lal kaun au nindriya, kahain na ani suvavai ।
Tu kahain nahin beghin avai, tokaun kanha bulavai ॥
Kabhun palak hari mundi let hain, kabhun adhar pharkavai ।
Sovat jani maun hvai kai rahi, kari kari sain batavai ॥
Ihin antar akulai uthe hari, jasumti madhurain gavai ।
Jo sukh sur amar-muni durlabh, so nand-bhamini pavai ॥
