चौपाई

भूपति मरन पेम पनु राखी। जननी कुमति जगतु सबु साखी।। 
 देखि न जाहि बिकल महतारी। जरहिं दुसह जर पुर नर नारी।।
 महीं सकल अनरथ कर मूला। सो सुनि समुझि सहिउँ सब सूला।। 
 सुनि बन गवनु कीन्ह रघुनाथा। करि मुनि बेष लखन सिय साथा।।
 बिनु पानहिन्ह पयादेहि पाएँ। संकरु साखि रहेउँ एहि घाएँ।। 
 बहुरि निहार निषाद सनेहू। कुलिस कठिन उर भयउ न बेहू।।
 अब सबु आँखिन्ह देखेउँ आई। जिअत जीव जड़ सबइ सहाई।। 
 जिन्हहि निरखि मग साँपिनि बीछी। तजहिं बिषम बिषु तामस तीछी।।

दोहा/सोरठा

तेइ रघुनंदनु लखनु सिय अनहित लागे जाहि। 
 तासु तनय तजि दुसह दुख दैउ सहावइ काहि।।262।।
