Kabi brind udar duni na suni
Chhand 5, Under Doha 101 · Uttar Kand
Chhand Text
कबि बृंद उदार दुनी न सुनी। गुन दूषक ब्रात न कोपि गुनी॥ कलि बारहिं बार दुकाल परै। बिनु अन्न दुखी सब लोग मरै॥ ५ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
kabi bṛnda udāra dunī na sunī। guna dūṣaka brāta na kopi gunī॥ kali bārahiṃ bāra dukāla parai। binu anna dukhī saba loga marai॥ 5 ॥
Meaning
There are hosts of poets, but no generous patron is heard of in the world. There are many who point out faults, but not a single truly virtuous person. In the Kali age, famine strikes again and again; without grain, all people suffer and die.
