## Original text

माधौजू तनकसो बदन सदन शोभाकौ तनक भूकुटी पर तनक दिठौना । तनक लटूरी सोहें मुनिन के मन मोहे मानों कमल ढिंग बैठे अलि छौना ॥१॥ तनकसी रज लागी निरखत बड़भागी कंठ कठुला सोहै नख बघना। नंददास प्रभु यशोदा के आँगन खेलै जाको जस गाय गाय मुनि भये मगना ॥२॥

(राग बिलावल | Raga Bilaval)

माधौजू तनकसो बदन सदन शोभाकौ तनक भूकुटी पर तनक दिठौना । तनक लटूरी सोहें मुनिन के मन मोहे मानों कमल ढिंग बैठे अलि छौना ॥१॥
Madhoju has a little face, the abode of beauty; a little mark of protection upon His little eyebrows. His little curls look lovely and enchant the minds of sages, as though a little bee were seated beside a lotus. ॥१॥

तनकसी रज लागी निरखत बड़भागी कंठ कठुला सोहै नख बघना। नंददास प्रभु यशोदा के आँगन खेलै जाको जस गाय गाय मुनि भये मगना ॥२॥
A little dust clings to Him; those who behold Him are greatly fortunate. A little necklace adorns His neck, and the tiger-claw pendant looks beautiful. Nanddas says: the Lord plays in Yashoda’s courtyard; singing His glory again and again, the sages became absorbed. ॥२॥
