## Original text

सुंदर बदनरी सुख सदन श्यामको निरख नैन मन थाक्यो ॥ हो ठाडी विथन व्हे निकस्यो ऊझकि झरोका झांक्यो ॥१॥ लालन एक चतुराई कीनी गेंद उछार गगन मिस ताक्यो ॥ बेरिन लाज भईरी मोकों में गंवार मुख ढांक्यो ॥२॥ चितवनमें कछु करगयो मोतन चढ्‌यो रहत चित चाक्यो ॥ सूरदास प्रभु सर्वस्व लेकें हंसत हंसत रथ हांक्यो ॥३॥
