Maiya mohin dau bahut khijhayo ।
Moson kahat mol ko linhon, tu jasumti kab jayo?
Kaha karaun ihi ris ke maren, khelan haun nahin jat ।
Puni puni kahat kaun hai mata, ko hai tero tat?
Gore nand jasoda gori, tu kat syamal gat ।
Chutki dai dai gval nachavat, hansat sabai musukat ॥
Tu mohin ko maran sikhi, dauhin kabhun na khijhai ।
Mohan mukh ris ki ye batain, jasumti suni suni rijhai ॥
Sunhu kanha balabhadra chabai, janmat hi ko dhut ।
Sur syam mohin godhan ki saun, haun mata tu put ॥
