Opening lines

मैं तो नर भव वादि गमायो॥ न कियो तप जप व्रत विधि सुन्दर, करम भलो न कमायो॥

The summary

सन्त कुमुदचन्द्र के इस चार पदों वाले हिन्दी पद में एक मनुष्य पश्चाताप करता है कि उसने दुर्लभ नरभव व्यर्थ गँवा दिया। उसने न तप, जप, व्रत किए, न दान दिया; लोभ, कपट और कुसंगति में पड़ा रहा। अन्त समय कोई साथ नहीं देता; मोहवश प्रभु का यश न गाने की भूल स्वीकार की गई है।
