Chaupāī

सुनहु पवनसुत रहनि हमारी। जिमि दसनन्हि महुँ जीभ बिचारी॥ तात कबहुँ मोहि जानि अनाथा। करिहहिं कृपा भानुकुल नाथा॥ तामस तनु कछु साधन नाहीं। प्रीति पद सरोज मन माहीं॥ अब मोहि भा भरोस हनुमंता। बिनु हरिकृपा मिलहिं नहिं संता॥ जौ रघुबीर अनुग्रह कीन्हा। तौ तुम्ह मोहि दरसु हठि दीन्हा॥ सुनहु बिभीषन प्रभु कै रीती। करहिं सदा सेवक पर प्रीती॥ कहहु कवन मैं परम कुलीना। कपि चंचल सबहीं बिधि हीना॥ प्रात लेइ जो नाम हमारा। तेहि दिन ताहि मिलै अहारा॥

Dohā

अस मैं अधम सखा सुनु मोहू पर रघुबीर। कीन्ही कृपा सुमिरि गुन भरे बिलोचन नीर॥7॥

asa maiṃ adhama sakhā sunu mohū para raghubīra kīnhī kṛpā sumiri guna bhare bilocana nīra 7

Meaning(Vibhishana said:) "Hear my way of life, son of the Wind — like the poor tongue amid the teeth. Some day, knowing me forlorn, the Lord of the Sun-race will show grace. This tamasic body has no means (of sadhana); there is no love for his lotus-feet in my heart. Now I have hope, Hanuman — without Hari's grace one does not meet the saints. If Raghuvira has shown me favour, then you have insistently granted me your sight." "Hear, Vibhishana, the Lord's way: he ever loves his servants. Tell me — what high birth have I? — a fickle monkey, base in every way; one who at dawn takes our name gets no food that day. Such a wretch am I, friend; yet even on me Raghuvira has shown grace." Remembering (the Lord's) virtues, his eyes filled with tears.
