गोविंद तिहारो स्वरूप निगम नेति नेति गावें ॥ भक्तके वश श्याम सुंदर देह धरें आवें ॥१॥ योगी मुनि ज्ञान ध्यान स्वपने नही पावें॥ नंद घरनि बांधिताहि कपि ज्यों नचावें ॥२॥ गोपीजन प्रेमआतुर संगलागी लोलें ॥ मुरलीको नाद सुनत गृहतजि वन डोलें ॥३॥ वेदपुराण स्मृतिकथा कहत शुक बिचारी ॥ परमानंद प्रेमकथा सबहिनते न्यारी ॥४॥
