चौपाई

कंकन किंकिनि नूपुर धुनि सुनि। कहत लखन सन रामु हृदयँ गुनि।। 
 मानहुँ मदन दुंदुभी दीन्ही।।मनसा बिस्व बिजय कहँ कीन्ही।।
 अस कहि फिरि चितए तेहि ओरा। सिय मुख ससि भए नयन चकोरा।। 
 भए बिलोचन चारु अचंचल। मनहुँ सकुचि निमि तजे दिगंचल।।
 देखि सीय सोभा सुखु पावा। हृदयँ सराहत बचनु न आवा।। 
 जनु बिरंचि सब निज निपुनाई। बिरचि बिस्व कहँ प्रगटि देखाई।।
 सुंदरता कहुँ सुंदर करई। छबिगृहँ दीपसिखा जनु बरई।। 
 सब उपमा कबि रहे जुठारी। केहिं पटतरौं बिदेहकुमारी।।

दोहा/सोरठा

सिय सोभा हियँ बरनि प्रभु आपनि दसा बिचारि। 
 बोले सुचि मन अनुज सन बचन समय अनुहारि।।230।।
