## Original text

नखशिख करि सिंगार प्रियापिय झूलत कुंज हिंडोरे आय ॥ मुखमिलाय दोउ दर्पण देखत मधुरमधुर दोउ बेन बजाय ॥१॥ आई घटा घुमड चहुं दिशतें चमकत चपला अति छबि पाय ॥ मंदमंद घनघोर करतहें बरखत फुही मोद मनलाय ॥२॥ इन्द्रधनुष पचरंग बिराजत बगपंगति अद्भुत दरसाय ॥ दादुरमोर चकोर कीर पिक और पपैया पिउपिउगाय ॥३॥ तेसोइ वन प्रफुलित नानाफल फूलनसौरभ चहुंदिश छाय ॥ रसिकदास प्रभुकों सब झुलवत व्रजवनिता मधुरें सुरगाय ॥४॥
