खेलत नंद आँगन गोविंद । निरख निरख जसुमति सुख पावत बदन मनोहर चंद ॥१॥ कटि किंकिनी चंद्रमनि की आभा मुक्तावलि बनी माल । परम सुदेश कंठ केहरिनख बिच बिच बज्र प्रवाल ॥२॥ कर पहुँची पायन पनसूरा तनु रंजित रज सीत । घुटुरुवन चलत अजर में बिहरत मुख मंडित नवनीत ॥३॥ सूर विचित्र कान्ह की बानिक बानी कहत न आवै । बालदशा अवलोकि सनक मुनि योग बिरति बिसरावै ॥४॥
