अथ प्रातसमय । राग ललित आड़ताल सुलोनि पिया मोहेरी सियाकी मुसकानि ॥ नैन खिले सुख बिकस मनोहर रस भकुटिन धरिआनि ॥१॥ अधर लसन छवि हंस असन की रसिकराम के अटके प्रान । कृपानिवास सहज बस करनी प्यारी की यह बान ॥२५॥ जिते रहो रामरसिक बिहारी । तेरी सुरति मेरे दृगउरझी पलक न हुजिय न्यारी ॥१॥ सरजू पुलिन रामललना संग गेहों आसहमारी ॥ कृपानिवास असीसति मुखले प्यारो जीव जियारी ॥२॥ मूलताल ॥ उरझरहे वा रसिकर पेचनसौं ॥ राम रसिक पिया प्यारीके । नाहिं सँभारत रस मतवारो
