कस न दीनपर द्रवहु उमाबर। दारुन बिपति हरन करुनाकर॥ १॥ बेद-पुरान कहत उदार हर। हमरि बेर कस भयेहु कृपिनतर॥ २॥ कवनि भगति कीन्ही गुननिधि द्विज। होइ प्रसन्न दीन्हेहु सिव पद निज॥ ३॥ जो गति अगम महामुनि गावहिं। तव पुर कोट पतंगहु पावहिं॥ ४॥ देहु काम-रिपु! राम-चरन-रति। तुलसिदास प्रभु! हरहु भेद-मति॥ ५॥

Why do you not melt for this poor man, O Uma's bridegroom, compassionate remover of terrible calamity? (1) The Vedas and Puranas call Hara generous; why have you become so miserly when my turn has come? (2) What devotion did the brahmin Gunanidhi perform, that you were pleased and gave him your own station of Shiva? (3) The state which great sages sing as inaccessible is attained in your city even by ten million moths. (4) O enemy of desire, give me love for Rama's feet. Lord, remove Tulsidas's mind of division. (5)
