Sanskrit Original
बिधि न सकेउ सहि मोर दुलारा। नीच बीचु जननी मिस पारा। यहउ कहत मोहि आजु न सोभा। अपनीं समुझि साधु सुचि को भा।। मातु मंदि मैं साधु सुचाली। उर अस आनत कोटि कुचाली।। फरइ कि कोदव बालि सुसाली। मुकुता प्रसव कि संबुक काली।। सपनेहुँ दोसक लेसु न काहू। मोर अभाग उदधि अवगाहू।। बिनु समुझें निज अघ परिपाकू। जारिउँ जायँ जननि कहि काकू।। हृदयँ हेरि हारेउँ सब ओरा। एकहि भाँति भलेहिं भल मोरा।। गुर गोसाइँ साहिब सिय रामू। लागत मोहि नीक परिनामू।।
bidhi na sakēu sahi mōra dulārā. nīca bīcu jananī misa pārā. yahau kahata mōhi āju na sōbhā. apanīṃ samujhi sādhu suci kō bhā.. mātu maṃdi maiṃ sādhu sucālī. ura asa ānata kōṭi kucālī.. pharai ki kōdava bāli susālī. mukutā prasava ki saṃbuka kālī.. sapanēhu dōsaka lēsu na kāhū. mōra abhāga udadhi avagāhū.. binu samujhēṃ nija agha paripākū. jāriu jāyaom janani kahi kākū.. hṛdayaom hēri hārēu saba ōrā. ēkahi bhāomti bhalēhiṃ bhala mōrā.. gura gōsāiom sāhiba siya rāmū. lāgata mōhi nīka parināmū..
But Fate could not bear to see me treated with fondness. In the disguise of my vile mother God created a cleft between us. It does not behove me today to say even this; for who has come to be recognized as good and innocent on the basis of his own estimation ? To entertain the thought that my mother is wicked while I am virtuous and upright is itself tantamount to a million evil practices. Can an ear of the Kodo* plant yield good rice and can a dark bivalve shell produce a pearl ? Not a tinge of blame attaches to anyone even in a dream. My ill-luck is unfathomable like the ocean. In vain did I torment my mother by taunting her without estimating the consequences of my own sins. I have mentally surveyed all possible avenues but feel frustrated. There is only one hope of my salvation: Your Holiness is my preceptor while Sita and Rama are my masters. From this I presume that all will be well in the end.
