चौपाई

कपटी कायर कुमति कुजाती। लोक बेद बाहेर सब भाँती।। 
 राम कीन्ह आपन जबही तें। भयउँ भुवन भूषन तबही तें।।
 देखि प्रीति सुनि बिनय सुहाई। मिलेउ बहोरि भरत लघु भाई।। 
 कहि निषाद निज नाम सुबानीं। सादर सकल जोहारीं रानीं।।
 जानि लखन सम देहिं असीसा। जिअहु सुखी सय लाख बरीसा।। 
 निरखि निषादु नगर नर नारी। भए सुखी जनु लखनु निहारी।।
 कहहिं लहेउ एहिं जीवन लाहू। भेंटेउ रामभद्र भरि बाहू।। 
 सुनि निषादु निज भाग बड़ाई। प्रमुदित मन लइ चलेउ लेवाई।।

दोहा/सोरठा

सनकारे सेवक सकल चले स्वामि रुख पाइ। 
 घर तरु तर सर बाग बन बास बनाएन्हि जाइ।।196।।
