Jaun nahin phirahi dhir dou bhai

Chaupai 1, Under Doha 82 · Ayodhya Kand

Chaupai Text

जौं नहिं फिरहिं धीर दोउ भाई। सत्यसंध दृढ़ब्रत रघुराई॥ तौ तुम्ह बिनय करेहु कर जोरी। फेरिअ प्रभु मिथिलेसकिसोरी॥ १ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

jauṃ nahiṃ phirahīṃ dhīra dou bhāī। satyasandha dṛḍhabrata raghurāī॥ tau tumha binaya karehu kara jorī। feria prabhu mithilesakisorī॥ 1 ॥

Meaning

If the two steadfast brothers do not return—for Raghunath is true to his vow and firm in his resolve—then, with folded hands, make this entreaty: 'O Lord, restore Princess of Mithila, Sita.'
