Sab mam priy nahin tumhahi samana

Chaupai 4, Under Doha 16 · Uttar Kand

Chaupai Text

सब मम प्रिय नहिं तुम्हहि समाना। मृषा न कहउँ मोर यह बाना॥ सब कें प्रिय सेवक यह नीती। मोरें अधिक दास पर प्रीती॥ ४ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

saba mama priya nahiṃ tumhahi samānā। mṛṣā na kahauṃ mora yaha bānā॥ saba keṃ priya sevaka yaha nītī। moreṃ adhika dāsa para prītī॥ 4 ॥

Meaning

All these are dear to me, yet not equal to you. I do not speak falsely; this is my nature. Servants are dear to everyone—that is the rule. But for me, affection for my servants is especially great.
