Kas kinh baru baurah bidhi jehi

Chhand, Under Doha 96 · Bal Kand

Chhand Text

कस कीन्ह बरु बौराह बिधि जेहिं तुम्हहि सुंदरता दई। जो फलु चहिअ सुरतरुहिं सो बरबस बबूरहिं लागई॥ तुम्ह सहित गिरि तें गिरौं पावक जरौं जलनिधि महुँ परौं। घरु जाउ अपजसु होउ जग जीवत बिबाहु न हौं करौं॥

Transliteration (IAST)

kasa kīnh baru baurāha vidhi jehiṃ tumhahiṃ sundaratā daī। jo phalu cahia surataruhiṃ so barabasa babūrahiṃ lāgaī॥ tumha sahita giri teṃ girauṃ pāvaka jarauṃ jalanidhi mahuṃ parauṃ। gharu jāu apajasu hou jaga jīvata bibāhu na hauṃ karauṃ॥

Meaning

How did the Creator, who gave you such beauty, make your groom a madman? The fruit that should have grown on a wish-fulfilling tree is being forced onto a babul thorn-tree. I would fall from the mountain with you, burn in fire, or plunge into the ocean. Even if the house is ruined and infamy spreads through the world, while I live I will not marry you to this mad groom.
