खेलत मदन सुंदर अंग । युवती जन मन निरखि उपजत विविध भाँति अनंग ॥१॥ पकरि बछरा पूँछ ऐंचत अपनी दिश कर जोर । कबहुँ बच्छ लै भजत हरि कों युवती जनकी ओर ॥२॥ देखि परबस भये प्रीतम भयौ मन आनंद । मनही आकुल भई व्याकुल गई लाज अमंद ॥३॥ कोऊ देखत गहत कोऊ हसत छाँडत गेह । करत भायौ अपने मनकौ प्रगट करि निज नेह ॥४॥ अति अलौकिक बाल लीला क्यों हूँ जानी न जाई । मुग्धतासौं महारस सुख देत रसिक मिलाई ॥५॥
