Chaupai Text
कहि न सकत कछु चितवत ठाढ़े। मीनु दीन जनु जल तें काढ़े॥ सोचु हृदयँ बिधि का होनिहारा। सबु सुखु सुकृतु सिरान हमारा॥ २ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
kahi na sakata kachu citavata ṭhāṛhe। mīnu dīna janu jala teṃ kāṛhe॥ socu hṛdayaṃ bidhi kā honihārā। sabu sukhu sukṛtu sirāna hamārā॥ 2 ॥
Meaning
He could not say anything; he stood there looking on. [He had become so helpless, as if a fish had been taken out of water.] In his heart he thought, "O Fate, what is about to happen? Has all our happiness and merit come to an end?"
