## Original text

आज बन कोऊ वह जिन जाय ॥ सब गायन बछरन समेत घर लावौ चित्र बनाय ॥१॥ ढोटा हो ब्रज भयौ रायजूकें कहत सुनाय सुनाय ॥ चहुँ दिश घोष यही कोलाहल उर आनंद न समाय ॥२॥ कितही विलंब करत बिन काजें वेगि चलौ उठि धाय ॥ अपने अपने मनके चीते नैनन देखौ आय ॥३॥ एक फिरत दधि दूब देत है एक रहत गहि पाय ॥ एक वसन पट देत बधाई एक उठत हँसि गाय ॥४॥ बाल विरध नर नारिनके मन भये चौगुने चाय ॥ सूरदास प्रमुदित ब्रजवासी गिनत न राजा राय ॥५॥
