Sachiv sabhay sikh dei na koi
Chaupai 2, Under Doha 258 · Bal Kand
Chaupai Text
सचिव सभय सिख देइ न कोई। बुध समाज बड़ अनुचित होई॥ कहँ धनु कुलिसहु चाहि कठोरा। कहँ स्यामल मृदुगात किसोरा॥ २ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
saciva sabhaya sikha dei na koī। budha samāja baṛa anucita hoī॥ kaham dhanu kulisahu cāhi kathorā। kaham syāmala mṛdugāta kisorā॥ 2 ॥
Meaning
The ministers are afraid, so no one dares give advice; in a learned assembly this is most improper. Where is a bow harder even than lightning, and where is this dark-complexioned, soft-bodied youth?
