## Original text

घुटुरुवन चलत श्याम मनि आँगन मात पिता दोऊ देखत री । कबहुँक किलकिलात मुख हेरत कबहूँ जननी मुख पेख तरी ॥१॥ लटकत लटकत ललित भाल पर काजर बिंदु भ्रुव ऊपर । यह शोभा नयनन देखै जे बढ्हि उपमा तिहुँ भूपर ॥२॥ कबहुँक दौर घुटुरूवनि टेकत गिरत उठत फिरि धावत। इतते नंद बुलाय लेत हैं उतते जननी बुलावत ॥३॥ दंपति हाउ करत आपुस में श्याम खिलौना कीन्हौ । सूरदास प्रभु ब्रह्म सनातन सुत हित करि दोऊ लीन्हौ ॥४॥
