गोविंद बारबार मुख जोवै । कमलनैंन हरि हिलकिन रोवत बंधन छोड़ि यह सोवै ॥१॥ जो तेरौ सुत खरौई अचगरौ अपनी कूखि कौ जायौ । कहा भयौ जो घरकौ लरिका चोरी माखन खायौ ॥२॥ नई मटुकिया दह्यौ जमायौ देव न पूजन पायौ । तिहिं घर देव पितर काहेके जिहि घर कान्हर आयौ ॥३॥ जाकौ नाम कुठार धारहै यमकी फाँसी काटै । सो हरि बाँधे प्रेम जेबरी जननी साँट लै डाटै ॥४॥ परमानंददासकौ ठाकुर करत भक्त मन भाये। देखि दुखि ये सुत कुबेरके लालजू आप बँधाये ॥५॥
