magi nav n kevatu ana. kahi tumhar maramu maian jana॥
charan kamal raj kahuan sabu kahee. manush karani moori kachhu ahee॥1॥

bhavarth:-shri ram ne kevat se nav maangi, par vah lata nahian. vah kahane laga- maianne tumhara marm (bhed) jan liya. tumhare charan kamaloan ki dhool ke lie sab log kahate haian ki vah manushy bana dene vali koee j di hai,॥1॥

chhuat sila bhi nari suhaee. pahan tean n kath kathinaee॥
taraniu muni gharini hoi jaee. bat pari mori nav u daee॥2॥

bhavarth:-jisake chhoote hi patthar ki shila suandari stri ho gee (meri nav to kath ki hai). kath patthar se kathor to hota nahian. meri nav bhi muni ki stri ho jaegi aur is prakar meri nav u d jaegi, maian lut jaooanga (athava rasta ruk jaega, jisase ap par n ho sakeange aur meri roji mari jaegi) (meri kamane-khane ki rah hi mari jaegi)॥2॥

 
ehian pratipaluan sabu parivaroo. nahian januan kachhu aur kabaroo॥
jauan prabhu par avasi ga chahahoo. mohi pad padum pakharan kahahoo॥3॥

bhavarth:-maian to isi nav se sare parivar ka palan-poshan karata hooan. doosara koee dhandha nahian janata. he prabhu! yadi tum avashy hi par jana chahate ho to mujhe pahale apane charanakamal pakharane (dho lene) ke lie kah do॥3॥
