Meti jai nahin Ram rajai

Chaupai 4, Under Doha 99 · Ayodhya Kand

Chaupai Text

मेटि जाइ नहिं राम रजाई। कठिन करमगति कछु न बसाई॥ राम लखन सिय पद सिरु नाई। फिरेउ बनिक जिमि मूर गवाँई॥ ४ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

meṭi jāi nahiṃ rāma rajāī। kaṭhina karamagati kachu na basāī॥ rāma lakhana siya pada siru nāī। phireu banika jimi mūra gavāṃī॥ 4 ॥

Meaning
