चौपाई

बरनि न जाइ मनोहर जोरी। सोभा बहुत थोरि मति मोरी।। 
 राम लखन सिय सुंदरताई। सब चितवहिं चित मन मति लाई।।
 थके नारि नर प्रेम पिआसे। मनहुँ मृगी मृग देखि दिआ से।। 
 सीय समीप ग्रामतिय जाहीं। पूँछत अति सनेहँ सकुचाहीं।।
 बार बार सब लागहिं पाएँ। कहहिं बचन मृदु सरल सुभाएँ।। 
 राजकुमारि बिनय हम करहीं। तिय सुभायँ कछु पूँछत डरहीं।
 स्वामिनि अबिनय छमबि हमारी। बिलगु न मानब जानि गवाँरी।। 
 राजकुअँर दोउ सहज सलोने। इन्ह तें लही दुति मरकत सोने।।

दोहा/सोरठा

स्यामल गौर किसोर बर सुंदर सुषमा ऐन। 
 सरद सर्बरीनाथ मुखु सरद सरोरुह नैन।।116।।
