सुनरी सखी उस इश्ककी कहानी। दिलदरदी दिलदार दरशबिन देखि नजरभर करत दिवानी॥ १ ॥ दिन अरु रात बात प्यारेकी जात गई पर हाथ बिकानी। कृपानिवास श्रीरामसजन की सूरति हेरि मैं हार हिरानी॥ २ ॥ १२ ॥

Listen, friend, to the story of that love. The heart-piercing Beloved, even without granting the vision, makes me mad whenever I behold him with a full gaze. Day and night there is only talk of the Dear One; my very being has been sold into another’s hand. Says Kripanivasa: beholding the form of my Beloved Shri Rama, I am defeated and bewildered.
