Sanskrit Original
तब लगि हृदयँ बसत खल नाना। लोभ मोह मच्छर मद माना।। जब लगि उर न बसत रघुनाथा। धरें चाप सायक कटि भाथा।। ममता तरुन तमी अँधिआरी। राग द्वेष उलूक सुखकारी।। तब लगि बसति जीव मन माहीं। जब लगि प्रभु प्रताप रबि नाहीं।। अब मैं कुसल मिटे भय भारे। देखि राम पद कमल तुम्हारे।। तुम्ह कृपाल जा पर अनुकूला। ताहि न ब्याप त्रिबिध भव सूला।। मैं निसिचर अति अधम सुभाऊ। सुभ आचरनु कीन्ह नहिं काऊ।। जासु रूप मुनि ध्यान न आवा। तेहिं प्रभु हरषि हृदयँ मोहि लावा।।

"That villainous crew-greed, infatuation, jealousy, arrogance and pride- haunts the mind only so long as the Lord of the Raghus does not take up His abode there, armed with a bow and arrow and with a quiver fastened at His waist. Attachment to the world is like a dark night fully advanced, which is so delightful to the owls of attraction and aversion; it abides in the heart of a creature only so long as the sun of the Lord's glory does not shine there. Having seen Your lotus feet, O Rama, I am now quite well and my grave fears have been set at rest. The threefold torments of mundane existence cease to have any effect on him who enjoys Your favour, my gracious lord. I am a demon vilest of nature and have never done any good act. Yet the Lord whose beauty even sages fail to perceive with their mind's eye has been pleased to clasp me to His bosom.
