Birah bikal nar iv raghurai

Chaupai 4, Under Doha 49 · Bal Kand

Chaupai Text

बिरह बिकल नर इव रघुराई। खोजत बिपिन फिरत दोउ भाई॥ कबहूँ जोग बियोग न जाकें। देखा प्रगट बिरह दुखु ताकें॥ ४ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

biraha bikala nara iva raghurāī। hojata bipina firata doū bhāī॥ kabahūṃ joga biyoga na jākeṃ। dekhā pragaṭa biraha dukhu tākeṃ॥ 4 ॥

Meaning

Raghurai is anguished by separation like an ordinary human being, and both brothers wander in the forest searching for Sita. In one who has never known union or separation, the sorrow of separation has now become plainly visible.
