समरथ सुअन समीरके, रघुबीर-पियारे। मोपर कोबी तोहि जो करि लेहि भिया रे॥ १॥ तेरी महिमा ते चलैं चिंचिनी-चिया रे। अँधियारो मेरी बार क्यों, त्रिभुवन-उजियारे॥ २॥ केहि करनी जन जानिके सनमान किया रे। केहि अघ औगुन आपने कर डारि दिया रे॥ ३॥ खाई खोंची माँगि मैं तेरो नाम लिया रे। तेरे बल, बलि, आजु लौं जग जागि जिया रे॥ ४॥ जो तोसों होतौ फिरौं मेरो हेतु हिया रे। तौ क्यों बदन देखावतो कहि बचन इयारे॥ ५॥ तोसो ग्यान-निधान को सरबग्य बिया रे। हौं समुझत साई-द्रोहकी गति छार छिया रे॥ ६॥ तेरे स्वामी राम से, स्वामिनी सिया रे। तहँ तुलसीके कौनको काको तकिया रे॥ ७॥
Mighty son of the Wind, beloved of Raghubira, whatever you wish to do to me, brother, do it now. (1) By your majesty even tamarind seeds can pass as coin. Why, illuminator of the three worlds, is there darkness when my turn comes? (2) For what deed did you recognize me as your servant and honor me? For what sin or fault have you now cast me from your hand? (3) Begging scraps from door to door, I have always taken your name. By your strength—blessed be you—I have lived awake in the world until today. (4) If I were to turn away from you, it would be because my heart had another object. Then why should I show you my face and speak these dear words? (5) Who besides you, treasury of knowledge, is all-knowing, brother? I understand that the fate of one who betrays his master is ashes and ruin. (6) Your master is Rama and your mistress Sita. There, whom and what besides you can Tulsi look toward for support? (7)
