Chhand Text

धीरजु मन कीन्हा प्रभु कहुँ चीन्हा रघुपति कृपाँ भगति पाई। अति निर्मल बानी अस्तुति ठानी ग्यानगम्य जय रघुराई॥ मैं नारि अपावन प्रभु जग पावन रावन रिपु जन सुखदाई। राजीव बिलोचन भव भय मोचन पाहि पाहि सरनहिं आई॥ २ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

dhīraju mana kīnhā prabhu kahaṃ kahuṃ cīnhā raghupati kṛpām̐ bhagati pāī। ati nirmala bānī astutī ṭhānī gyānagamya jaya raghurāī॥ maiṃ nāri apāvana prabhu jaga pāvana rāvana ripu jana sukhadāī। rājīva bilocana bhava bhaya mocana pāhi pāhi saranahiṃ āī॥ 2 ॥

Meaning

Then, gathering courage in her mind, she recognized the Lord and, by the grace of Raghunatha, obtained devotion. With most pure speech she began to praise Him: Victory to Raghurai, who can be known through wisdom! I am an impure woman, O Lord; yet You are the purifier of the world, the enemy of Ravana, and the giver of joy to Your devotees. O lotus-eyed One, remover of the fear of worldly existence, I have come seeking Your shelter; protect me, protect me.
