## Original text

सखीरी काहेकौं गहरु लगावति ॥ सबकोऊ ऐसौ सुख सुनिकै क्यो नाहिन उठि आवति ॥१॥ आज सो बात विधाता कीनी जो जाके मन भावति ॥ सुतको जन्म यशोदाके गृह तहाँ लगि तोहि बुलावत ॥२॥ दधि रोचन भरि वेगि चलो मिलि कनक थार कर लावति ॥ साँचेहु सुत भयौ नंदकै तोहि नहीं बौरावति ॥३॥ अंचल उड़त शिथिल अलकावलि सुमन सुधा बरषावत ॥ सूरदास शोभित ते अवसर जहाँ तहाँतै उठि धावत ॥४॥
