चौपाई

सुनि मुनि गिरा सत्य जियँ जानी। दुख दंपतिहि उमा हरषानी।। 
 नारदहुँ यह भेदु न जाना। दसा एक समुझब बिलगाना।।
 सकल सखीं गिरिजा गिरि मैना। पुलक सरीर भरे जल नैना।। 
 होइ न मृषा देवरिषि भाषा। उमा सो बचनु हृदयँ धरि राखा।।
 उपजेउ सिव पद कमल सनेहू। मिलन कठिन मन भा संदेहू।। 
 जानि कुअवसरु प्रीति दुराई। सखी उछँग बैठी पुनि जाई।।
 झूठि न होइ देवरिषि बानी। सोचहि दंपति सखीं सयानी।। 
 उर धरि धीर कहइ गिरिराऊ। कहहु नाथ का करिअ उपाऊ।।

दोहा/सोरठा

कह मुनीस हिमवंत सुनु जो बिधि लिखा लिलार। 
 देव दनुज नर नाग मुनि कोउ न मेटनिहार।।68।।
