Sri Dilip Chandra Vedi was a scholar of Indian Classical Music and its history. He has written in detail about Trilochan Pandey / Tansen.
Vedi says that although Tansen was also a very good poet, we dont have many poems/songs of Tansen preserved or surviving today, nor are we aware of any collection of his original poetry. However there can still be encountered some original chhanda-s that he wrote and composed. Vedi presents one such brija pada from tradition, and says that this composition was probably used as a prayer in Akbar's court, and is dedicated to Surya:
prabhAkar divAkar dinakar himAkar bhAnu prakaTe vihAn
tere uday pAp tAp kaTe karma dharma prem nem, hoy guru-gyAn-dhyAn
jagamagAt jagat par jag-chakshu jyoti-rUp, kasyap-suta jagat-prAN
tere uday jaga-kapAT khulat, tAnasen kIje kripA, vidyA-nidhAn
