Ram daras lalasa uchahu

Chaupai 2, Under Doha 275 · Ayodhya Kand

Chaupai Text

राम दरस लालसा उछाहू। पथ श्रम लेसु कलेसु न काहू॥ मन तहँ जहँ रघुबर बैदेही। बिनु मन तन दुख सुख सुधि केही॥ २ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

rāma darasa lālasā uchāhū। patha śrama lesu kaleṣu na kāhū॥ mana tahaṃ jahaṃ raghubara baidehī। binu mana tana dukha sukha sudhi kehī॥ 2 ॥

Meaning

Because of their longing and eagerness to see Rama, no one feels the fatigue or hardship of the road. The heart is where Raghubar and Vaidehi are. Without the mind, who can even know the body’s joy or sorrow?
