Chaupai Text
भनिति बिचित्र सुकबि कृत जोऊ। राम नाम बिनु सोह न सोऊ॥ बिधुबदनी सब भाँति सँवारी। सोह न बसन बिना बर नारी॥ २ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
bhaniti bicitra sukabi kṛta joū। rāma nāma binu soha na soū॥ bidhubadanī saba bhāṃti saṃvārī। soha na basana binā bara nārī॥ 2 ॥
Meaning
A wondrous composition by a good poet does not shine without the name of Rama. Like a beautiful woman with a moon-like face, adorned in every way, yet without clothes she does not look beautiful.
