चौपाई

दीख मंथरा नगरु बनावा। मंजुल मंगल बाज बधावा।। 
 पूछेसि लोगन्ह काह उछाहू। राम तिलकु सुनि भा उर दाहू।।
 करइ बिचारु कुबुद्धि कुजाती। होइ अकाजु कवनि बिधि राती।। 
 देखि लागि मधु कुटिल किराती। जिमि गवँ तकइ लेउँ केहि भाँती।।
 भरत मातु पहिं गइ बिलखानी। का अनमनि हसि कह हँसि रानी।। 
 ऊतरु देइ न लेइ उसासू। नारि चरित करि ढारइ आँसू।।
 हँसि कह रानि गालु बड़ तोरें। दीन्ह लखन सिख अस मन मोरें।। 
 तबहुँ न बोल चेरि बड़ि पापिनि। छाड़इ स्वास कारि जनु साँपिनि।।

दोहा/सोरठा

सभय रानि कह कहसि किन कुसल रामु महिपालु। 
 लखनु भरतु रिपुदमनु सुनि भा कुबरी उर सालु।।13।।
