Kari kurup bidhi parbas kinha

Chaupai 3, Under Doha 16 · Ayodhya Kand

Chaupai Text

करि कुरूप बिधि परबस कीन्हा। बवा सो लुनिअ लहिअ जो दीन्हा॥ कोउ नृप होउ हमहि का हानी। चेरि छाड़ि अब होब कि रानी॥ ३ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

kari kurūpa bidhi parabasa kīnhā। bavā so luniā lahia jo dīnhā॥ kou nṛpa hou hamahi kā hānī। ceri chādi aba hoba ki rānī॥ 3 ॥

Meaning

Destiny made me ugly and helpless! Why blame anyone else? One reaps what one sows, and receives what one is given. What difference does it make who becomes king? Even if I leave service, will I ever become a queen?
