माधव, बहुत मिनति करि तोय।देइ तुलसी तिल, देह समरपिनु, दया जनु छोड़ब मोय॥
गनइते दोष गुनलेस न पाओब, जब तुहुँ करब बिचार।तुहुँ जगन्नाथ, जगते कहाओसि, जग बाहिर नहि मोर॥
किए मानुष पसु पाखी, जनमिअ अथवा कीट पतंग।करम बिपाके गतागति पुनु पुनु, मति रहु तुअ परसंग॥
In English
Madhava, I beg you again and again. With tulsi and sesame I have given over this body — only do not let go of your mercy. If you count my faults you will find no grain of virtue in me; but you are called lord of the world, and I am not outside the world.
