चौपाई

कीन्ह निमज्जनु तीरथराजा। नाइ मुनिहि सिरु सहित समाजा।। 
 रिषि आयसु असीस सिर राखी। करि दंडवत बिनय बहु भाषी।।
 पथ गति कुसल साथ सब लीन्हे। चले चित्रकूटहिं चितु दीन्हें।। 
 रामसखा कर दीन्हें लागू। चलत देह धरि जनु अनुरागू।।
 नहिं पद त्रान सीस नहिं छाया। पेमु नेमु ब्रतु धरमु अमाया।। 
 लखन राम सिय पंथ कहानी। पूँछत सखहि कहत मृदु बानी।।
 राम बास थल बिटप बिलोकें। उर अनुराग रहत नहिं रोकैं।। 
 दैखि दसा सुर बरिसहिं फूला। भइ मृदु महि मगु मंगल मूला।।

दोहा/सोरठा

किएँ जाहिं छाया जलद सुखद बहइ बर बात। 
 तस मगु भयउ न राम कहँ जस भा भरतहि जात।।216।।
