चौपाई

चितवहि चकित चहूँ दिसि सीता। कहँ गए नृपकिसोर मनु चिंता।। 
 जहँ बिलोक मृग सावक नैनी। जनु तहँ बरिस कमल सित श्रेनी।।
 लता ओट तब सखिन्ह लखाए। स्यामल गौर किसोर सुहाए।। 
 देखि रूप लोचन ललचाने। हरषे जनु निज निधि पहिचाने।।
 थके नयन रघुपति छबि देखें। पलकन्हिहूँ परिहरीं निमेषें।। 
 अधिक सनेहँ देह भै भोरी। सरद ससिहि जनु चितव चकोरी।।
 लोचन मग रामहि उर आनी। दीन्हे पलक कपाट सयानी।। 
 जब सिय सखिन्ह प्रेमबस जानी। कहि न सकहिं कछु मन सकुचानी।।

दोहा/सोरठा

लताभवन तें प्रगट भे तेहि अवसर दोउ भाइ। 
 निकसे जनु जुग बिमल बिधु जलद पटल बिलगाइ।।232।।
