Chaupai Text
नैहर जनमु भरब बरु जाई। जिअत न करबि सवति सेवकाई॥ अरि बस दैउ जिआवत जाही। मरनु नीक तेहि जीवन चाही॥ १ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
naihara janamu bharaba baru jāī। jiat na karabi savati sevakāī॥ ari basa daiu jiāvata jāhī। maranu nīka tehi jīvana cāhī॥ 1 ॥
Meaning
I would rather go back to my parental home and spend my life there; but I will not serve a co-wife while I am alive. For one whom Fate keeps alive in an enemy's power, death is better than such a life.
