Chaupai Text
सीलु सनेहु सकल दुहु ओरा। द्रवहिं देखि सुनि कुलिस कठोरा॥ पुलक सिथिल तन बारि बिलोचन। महि नख लिखन लगीं सब सोचन॥ ३ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
sīlu sanehu sakala duhu orā। dravahiṃ dekhi suni kulisa kaṭhorā॥ pulaka sithila tana bāri bilocana। mahi nakha likhana lagīṃ saba socana॥ 3 ॥
Meaning
Seeing and hearing the virtue and affection on both sides, even a diamond-hard heart melts. Their bodies tremble, their limbs grow slack, tears fill their eyes, and all begin to scratch the earth with their nails in thought.
