मोहि न लाज निज नेहु निहारी। राम सरिस सुत मैं महतारी॥ जिऐ मरै भल भूपति जाना। मोर हृदय सत कुलिस समाना॥ ४ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

mohi na lāja nija nehu nihārī। rāma sarisa suta maiṃ mahatārī॥ jiē marai bhala bhūpati jānā। mora hṛdaya sata kulisa samānā॥ 4 ॥

Meaning

Looking only at my own affection, I have no shame. I am the mother of a son like Rama! The king understood well the art of living and dying. My heart is as hard as hundreds of thunderbolts.
