Main apan kimi kahon kalesu

Chaupai 2, Under Doha 153 · Ayodhya Kand

Chaupai Text

मैं आपन किमि कहौं कलेसू। जिअत फिरेउँ लेइ राम सँदेसू॥ अस कहि सचिव बचन रहि गयऊ। हानि गलानि सोच बस भयऊ॥ २ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

maiṃ āpana kimi kahauṃ kalesū। jiat phireuṃ lei rāma saṃdesū॥ asa kahi saciva bacana rahi gayau। hāni galāni soca basa bhayau॥ 2 ॥

Meaning

How can I describe my grief, when I have returned alive after carrying Shri Rama's message? Speaking thus, the minister's voice failed him; he fell silent and was overcome by loss, remorse, and sorrow.
