Dekhiat chakrabaak khag naaheen
Chaupai 5, Under Doha 15 · Kishkindha Kand
Chaupai Text
देखिअत चक्रबाक खग नाहीं। कलिहि पाइ जिमि धर्म पराहीं॥ ऊषर बरषइ तृन नहिं जामा। जिमि हरिजन हियँ उपज न कामा॥ ५ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
dekhiata cakrabāka khaga nāhīṃ। kalihi pāi jimi dharma parāhīṃ॥ ūṣara baraṣai tṛna nahiṃ jāmā। jimi harijana hiyaṃ upaja na kāmā॥ 5 ॥
Meaning
The chakravak birds are nowhere to be seen, just as dharma flees in the age of Kali. Rain may fall on barren ground, yet no grass grows there. Likewise, desire does not arise in the hearts of the devotees of Hari.
