Chaupai Text
जथा पंख बिनु खग अति दीना। मनि बिनु फनि करिबर कर हीना॥ अस मम जिवन बंधु बिनु तोही। जौं जड़ दैव जिआवै मोही॥ ५ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
jathā paṃkha binu khaga ati dīnā। mani binu phani karibara kara hīnā॥ asa mama jivana bandhu binu tohī। jauṃ jaḍa daiva jiāvai mohī॥ 5 ॥
Meaning
Just as a bird without wings, a serpent without a jewel, or a noble elephant without its trunk becomes utterly helpless, so, O brother, would my life be without you. If some inert fate were to keep me alive, my life would still be like that.
