Chaupai Text

भए अजस अघ भाजन प्राना। कवन हेतु नहिं करत पयाना॥ अहह मंद मनु अवसर चूका। अजहुँ न हृदय होत दुइ टूका॥ ३ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

bhae ajasa agha bhājana prānā। kavana hetu nahiṃ karata payānā॥ ahaha manda manu avasara cūkā। ajahuṃ na hṛdaya hota dui ṭūkā॥ 3 ॥

Meaning

These breaths have become vessels of disgrace and sin. For what reason do they not depart now? Alas, the base mind has missed a perfect opportunity. Why does the heart not split into two even now!
