Papavant kar sahaj subhau

Chaupai 2, Under Doha 44 · Sundar Kand

Chaupai Text

पापवंत कर सहज सुभाऊ। भजनु मोर तेहि भाव न काऊ॥ जौं पै दुष्ट हृदय सोइ होई। मोरें सनमुख आव कि सोई॥ २ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

pāpavanta kara sahaja subhāū। bhajanu mora tehi bhāva na kāū॥ jaũ pai duṣṭa hṛdaya soi hoī। moreṃ sanamukha āva ki soī॥ 2 ॥

Meaning

It is the natural nature of the sinful that devotion to Me never pleases him. If he truly had a wicked heart, could he have come before Me?
