चौपाई

पछिले पहर भूपु नित जागा। आजु हमहि बड़ अचरजु लागा।। 
 जाहु सुमंत्र जगावहु जाई। कीजिअ काजु रजायसु पाई।।
 गए सुमंत्रु तब राउर माही। देखि भयावन जात डेराहीं।। 
 धाइ खाइ जनु जाइ न हेरा। मानहुँ बिपति बिषाद बसेरा।।
 पूछें कोउ न ऊतरु देई। गए जेंहिं भवन भूप कैकैई।। 
 कहि जयजीव बैठ सिरु नाई। दैखि भूप गति गयउ सुखाई।।
 सोच बिकल बिबरन महि परेऊ। मानहुँ कमल मूलु परिहरेऊ।। 
 सचिउ सभीत सकइ नहिं पूँछी। बोली असुभ भरी सुभ छूछी।।

दोहा/सोरठा

परी न राजहि नीद निसि हेतु जान जगदीसु। 
 रामु रामु रटि भोरु किय कहइ न मरमु महीसु।।38।।
