नाथ लखनु पुरु देखन चहहीं। प्रभु सकोच डर प्रगट न कहहीं॥ जौं राउर आयसु मैं पावौं। नगर देखाइ तुरत लै आवौं॥ ३ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

nātha lakhanu puru dekhana cahahīṃ। prabhu sakocha ḍara pragaṭa na kahahīṃ॥ jaũṃ rāura āyasu maiṃ pāvāũṃ। nagara dekhāi turata lai āvāũṃ॥ 3 ॥

Meaning

O Lord, Lakshmana wishes to see the city, but because of fear and modesty before you, he has not said so openly. If I receive your command, I shall show him the city and bring him back at once.
