## Original text

बैठे घनश्याम सुंदर खेवत हें नाव ॥ आज सखी मोहन संग खेलवे को दाव ॥१॥ यमुना गंभीर नीर अति तरंग लोलें ॥ गोपिन प्रति कहन लागे मीठे मृदु बोलें ॥२॥ पथिक तुम खेवट हम दीजियें उतराई ॥ बीच धार मांझ रोकी मिषही मिष डुलाई ॥३॥ डरपतहों श्याम सुंदर राखीयें पद पास ॥ याही मिष मिल्यो चाहे परमानंददास ॥४॥
