Chaupai Text

परम हानि सब कहँ बड़ लाहू। अदिनु मोर नहिं दूषन काहू॥ संसय सील प्रेम बस अहहू। सबुइ उचित सब जो कछु कहहू॥ ४ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

parama hāni saba kahaṃ baṛa lāhū। adinu mora nahiṃ dūṣana kāhū॥ saṃsaya sīla prema basa ahahū। sabui ucita saba jo kachu kahahū॥ 4 ॥

Meaning

What is the greatest loss seems to all to be a great gain. It is my evil day; no one is at fault. Whatever you all say is उचित, for you are ruled by doubt, gentleness, and love.
