चौपाई

कुबरिहि रानि प्रानप्रिय जानी। बार बार बड़ि बुद्धि बखानी।। 
 तोहि सम हित न मोर संसारा। बहे जात कइ भइसि अधारा।।
 जौं बिधि पुरब मनोरथु काली। करौं तोहि चख पूतरि आली।। 
 बहुबिधि चेरिहि आदरु देई। कोपभवन गवनि कैकेई।।
 बिपति बीजु बरषा रितु चेरी। भुइँ भइ कुमति कैकेई केरी।। 
 पाइ कपट जलु अंकुर जामा। बर दोउ दल दुख फल परिनामा।।
 कोप समाजु साजि सबु सोई। राजु करत निज कुमति बिगोई।। 
 राउर नगर कोलाहलु होई। यह कुचालि कछु जान न कोई।।

दोहा/सोरठा

प्रमुदित पुर नर नारि। सब सजहिं सुमंगलचार। 
 एक प्रबिसहिं एक निर्गमहिं भीर भूप दरबार।।23।।
