कान्हकौ कर्ण छेदन हाथ सुहारी भेली गुरकी । विधि बिहँसत हँसत हेरि हेरि जसुमतिकें धकधकी उरकी ॥१॥ रोचन भरि लै देत सूची श्रवन निकट अति ही चातुरकी । कंचनके  द्वै दुर मँगाय लिये कहा कहों छेदन आतुरकी ॥२॥ लोचन भरि भरि दोऊ माताके कान छेदन देखत जिय मुरकी। रोवत देख जननी अकुलानी लियौ तुरत नउवाँकौ भुरकी ॥३॥ हँसत नंद युवती सब विहँसी झुमक चलीं सब भीतर दुरकी । सूरदास नंद करत बधाई अति आनंद बाला ब्रजपुरकी ॥४॥
