Chhadahu bachanu ki dhiraju dharahu

Chaupai 4, Under Doha 35 · Ayodhya Kand

Chaupai Text

छाड़हु बचनु कि धीरजु धरहू। जनि अबला जिमि करुना करहू॥ तनु तिय तनय धामु धनु धरनी। सत्यसंध कहुँ तृन सम बरनी॥ ४ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

chāṛahu bacanu ki dhīraju dharahū। jani abalā jimi karunā karahū॥ tanu tiya tanaya dhāmu dhanu dharanī। satyasaṃdha kahuṃ tṛna sama baranī॥ 4 ॥

Meaning

Either give up your word or show patience; do not lament like a helpless woman. For one steadfast in truth, the body, wife, son, home, wealth, and even the earth are all said to be as mere blades of grass.
