## Original text

देख सखी नव छेल छबीलो चिते लियो मेरो चित चोर। अरविलो आनत ऐंडानी ओर आकृति नेननकी कोर ॥१॥ शोभा अंग प्रति रूप माधुरी शीश दुमालो अति छबछोर। कुंडल लोल कपोलन झांई अरुन उदेमानो किरन चहुं ओर ॥२॥ कहत न बने देखही बन आवे सदा वसो मन नंदकिशोर। चत्रभुज प्रभु गिरिधरन लाल पर रीझ डारत त्रन तोर ॥३॥

चत्रभुज प्रभु गिरिधरन लाल पर रीझ डारत त्रन तोर ॥३॥
