जिअसि सदा सठ मोर जिआवा। रिपु कर पच्छ मूढ़ तोहि भावा॥ कहसि न खल अस को जग माहीं। भुज बल जाहि जिता मैं नाहीं॥ २ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

jiasi sadā saṭha mora jiāvā। ripu kara pacchha mūḍha tohi bhāvā॥ kahasi na khala asa ko jaga māhīṃ। bhuja bala jāhi jitā maiṃ nāhīṃ॥ 2 ॥

Meaning

You live only because I have kept you alive, yet, O fool, you favor the enemy’s side. Tell me, O wicked one: who is there in this world that I have not conquered by the strength of my arms?
