Original · Devanagari
चोट लगी हेरी रामलगन की। प्राण सुधन तन सदन सुध न रही, बदन प्रगट कर प्रीत अगनकी॥ १ ॥ ओचकि उचकि चषन मृगपेटी मूरति अति बखरण गगनकी। छीन सुथान बिरान करी मोहिं निपट अटपटी बान ठगनिकी॥ २ ॥ लाज जरी मरजाद टरी सब छाय परी अनुराग गनकी। कृपानिवास उसास हायके पगन कहाँ जहाँ पान दगनकी॥ ३ ॥ ९ ॥

Look—the wound of attachment to Rama has struck me. Awareness of life, treasure, body, and home is gone; the face openly displays love’s fire. Startled and leaping, the deerlike eyes behold a form whose splendour fills the sky. The deceiver’s utterly strange arrow has stolen every familiar place and made me a stranger to myself. Shame has burned away, convention has departed, and the whole company of passion has cast its shade over me. Says Kripanivasa: with a sigh and a cry of ‘alas,’ where can the feet go when every step bears that burning mark?
