चौपाई

कोटि मनोज लजावनिहारे। सुमुखि कहहु को आहिं तुम्हारे।। 
 सुनि सनेहमय मंजुल बानी। सकुची सिय मन महुँ मुसुकानी।।
 तिन्हहि बिलोकि बिलोकति धरनी। दुहुँ सकोच सकुचित बरबरनी।। 
 सकुचि सप्रेम बाल मृग नयनी। बोली मधुर बचन पिकबयनी।।
 सहज सुभाय सुभग तन गोरे। नामु लखनु लघु देवर मोरे।। 
 बहुरि बदनु बिधु अंचल ढाँकी। पिय तन चितइ भौंह करि बाँकी।।
 खंजन मंजु तिरीछे नयननि। निज पति कहेउ तिन्हहि सियँ सयननि।। 
 भइ मुदित सब ग्रामबधूटीं। रंकन्ह राय रासि जनु लूटीं।।

दोहा/सोरठा

अति सप्रेम सिय पायँ परि बहुबिधि देहिं असीस। 
 सदा सोहागिनि होहु तुम्ह जब लगि महि अहि सीस।।117।।
