Nayananhi sant daras nahin dekha

Chaupai 2, Under Doha 113 · Bal Kand

Chaupai Text

नयनन्हि संत दरस नहिं देखा। लोचन मोरपंख कर लेखा॥ ते सिर कटु तुंबरि समतूला। जे न नमत हरि गुर पद मूला॥ २ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

nayanaṃhi saṃta darasa nahiṃ dekhā। locana morapaṃkha kara lekhā॥ te sira kaṭu tuṃbari samatūlā। je na namata hari guru pada mūlā॥ 2 ॥

Meaning

Those who have not seen the saints with their own eyes have eyes that are only counted among the false eyes seen on a peacock's feather. Their heads are like bitter gourds, which do not bow at the feet of Hari and the Guru.
