बादली साज बन्यो अति सुन्दर चहुंदिसतें बादर जुरी आई ॥ध्रुव ॥ गरजत गगन दामिनी दमकत ता मधि जुगल किसोर सुहाई । बादली पाग पिछोरा बादली सारी चोली सुभग मनभाई ॥ १॥ मानिकको सिंगार सुभग अति तिलक करनफूल भाल धराई । सुभग चन्द्रिका कलगी लटकन सीसफूल बेसर लर लाई ॥२॥ पोहोंची और दुगदुगी सोभित गुंजमाल सिरकंठ धराई । फूलनकी माला अति मेहकत 'नंददास' निरखत सुख पाई ॥३॥
