Jaun na chalab ham kahe tumharen

Chaupai Text

जौं न चलब हम कहे तुम्हारें। होउ नास नहिं सोच हमारें॥ एकहिं डर डरपत मन मोरा। प्रभु महिदेव श्राप अति घोरा॥ ४ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

jaum na calaba hama kahe tumhāreṃ। hou nāsa nahiṃ soca hamāreṃ॥ ekahiṃ ḍara ḍarapata mana morā। prabhu mahideva śrāpa ati ghorā॥ 4 ॥

Meaning

If I do not act according to your words, let my ruin come—I do not care. My heart, O Lord, trembles only with one fear: the curse of Mahadeva is terribly severe.
