छाइ निशासा छाइ घनकी निवड़ बनकी ओट। कैसे मिले सियलाल आलि सब गसी चिंता कोट॥ द्रुम द्रुमनि प्रति दृढ़त किएँ मन हेरै मूरति श्याम। टेरेँ परसपर मिले जब कोउ विरह बेधी बाम ३०॥

Steadying their minds, they search tree after tree for the dark form; when either separation-pierced lover calls, the two meet one another. (30)
