मैं सठु सब अनरथ कर हेतू। बैठ बात सब सुनउँ सचेतू॥ बिनु रघुबीर बिलोकि अबासू। रहे प्रान सहि जग उपहासू॥ ३ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

maiṃ saṭhu saba anaratha kara hetū। baiṭha bāta saba sunauṃ sacetū॥ binu raghubīra biloki abāsū। rahe prāna sahi jaga upahāsū॥ 3 ॥

Meaning

I, the wicked one, who am the cause of all calamities, sit here and listen to everything! Even after seeing a home bereft of Sri Raghubir and enduring the world’s mockery, these very breaths still remain.
