जसोदा कबहिं बढ़ैगी चोटी

अशआर

1. जसोदा कबहिं बढ़ैगी चोटी । किती बार मोहिं दूध पिवत भई यह अजहूँ हैं छोटी ॥

   अर्थ: O Yashoda, when will my braid ever grow? How often have I drunk milk, yet it remains just as short as before!

2. तू जो कहति बलकी बेनी ज्यों ह्वैहै लाँबी मोटी । काढ़त गुहत न्हवावत ओछत नागिनि सी भ्वै लोटी ॥

   अर्थ: You promised it would grow like Balarama's braid, both long and thick; yet through every combing, plaiting, washing, and drying, it never falls to writhe like a serpent on the ground.

3. काचो दूध पिवावत पचिपचि देत न माखन रोटी । सूर स्याम चिर जीवौ दोउ भैया हरि हलधरकी जोटी ॥

   अर्थ: You repeatedly feed me raw milk, giving neither butter nor bread; Surdas prays, long live the two brothers, the divine pair of Hari and Haladhar.
