Pap karat nisi basar jahi

Chaupai 3, Under Doha 251 · Ayodhya Kand

Chaupai Text

पाप करत निसि बासर जाहीं। नहिं पट कटि नहिं पेट अघाहीं॥ सपनेहुँ धरमबुद्धि कस काऊ। यह रघुनंदन दरस प्रभाऊ॥ ३ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

pāpa karata nisi bāsara jāhīṃ। rahiṃ paṭa kaṭi nahiṃ peṭa aghāhīṃ॥ sapanehuṃ dharamabuddhi kasa kāū। yaha raghunandana darasa prabhāū॥ 3 ॥

Meaning

Our days and nights pass in sin. Still, we have no cloth to cover our waists and cannot fill our bellies. Even in dreams we have no thought of righteousness. All this is the power of beholding the descendant of Raghu.
