राधा-कृष्ण प्राण मोर युगल-किशोर
जीवने मरणे गति आर नाही मोर
कालिंदीर कूले केलि-कदंबेर वन
रतन-वेदीर उपर बोसाइबो दु'जन
श्याम-गौरी-अंगे दिबो चंदनेर गंध
चामर ढुलाइबो मुख हेरिबो स्वानंद
गाथिया मालती-माला दिबो दोहाँर गले
अधरे तुलिया दिबो कर्पूर-तांबूले
ललिता विशाखा-आदि जतो सखी-वृंद
आज्ञाय कोरियो सेवा चरणारविंद
श्री-कृष्ण-चैतन्य-प्रभुर दासेर अनुदास
सेवा-अभिलाष कोरे नरोत्तम-दास
