Chaupai Text

अहह दैव मैं कत जग जायउँ। प्रभु के एकहु काज न आयउँ॥ जानि कुअवसरु मन धरि धीरा। पुनि कपि सन बोले बलबीरा॥ २ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

ahaha daiva main kata jaga jāyaum̐। prabhu ke ekahu kāja na āyaum̐॥ jāni kuavasaru mana dhari dhīrā। puni kapi sana bole balabīrā॥ 2 ॥

Meaning

Alas, fate! Why was I born into this world? I have not been of any use in even one task of the Lord. Knowing this was an inauspicious moment, and steadying his mind, the mighty Bharat then spoke to the monkey.
