चौपाई

ब्यर्थ मरहु जनि गाल बजाई। मन मोदकन्हि कि भूख बुताई।। 
 सिख हमारि सुनि परम पुनीता। जगदंबा जानहु जियँ सीता।।
 जगत पिता रघुपतिहि बिचारी। भरि लोचन छबि लेहु निहारी।। 
 सुंदर सुखद सकल गुन रासी। ए दोउ बंधु संभु उर बासी।।
 सुधा समुद्र समीप बिहाई। मृगजलु निरखि मरहु कत धाई।। 
 करहु जाइ जा कहुँ जोई भावा। हम तौ आजु जनम फलु पावा।।
 अस कहि भले भूप अनुरागे। रूप अनूप बिलोकन लागे।। 
 देखहिं सुर नभ चढ़े बिमाना। बरषहिं सुमन करहिं कल गाना।।

दोहा/सोरठा

जानि सुअवसरु सीय तब पठई जनक बोलाई। 
 चतुर सखीं सुंदर सकल सादर चलीं लवाईं।।246।।
