बचनु न आव हृदयँ पछिताई। अवध काह मैं देखब जाई॥ राम रहित रथ देखिहि जोई। सकुचिहि मोहि बिलोकत सोई॥ ४ ॥

bacanu na āva hṛdayã pachitāī। avadha kāha maiṃ dekhaba jāī॥ rāma rahita ratha dekhihi joī। sakućihi mohi bilokata soī॥ 4 ॥
Meaning
Words will not come from his mouth. In his heart he repents: what will I see if I go to Ayodhya? Whoever sees the chariot bereft of Rama will feel shy to look at me.
