Doha 1
जब तें रामु ब्याहि घर आए। नित नव मंगल मोद बधाए॥ भुवन चारिदस भूधर भारी। सुकृत मेघ बरषहिं सुख बारी॥१॥
रिधि सिधि संपति नदीं सुहाई। उमगि अवध अंबुधि कहुँ आई॥ मनिगन पुर नर नारि सुजाती। सुचि अमोल सुंदर सब भाँती॥२॥
कहि न जाइ कछु नगर बिभूती। जनु एतनिअ बिरंचि करतूती॥ सब बिधि सब पुर लोग सुखारी। रामचंद मुख चंदु निहारी॥३॥
मुदित मातु सब सखीं सहेली। फलित बिलोकि मनोरथ बेली॥ राम रूपु गुन सीलु सुभाऊ। प्रमुदित होइ देखि सुनि राऊ॥४॥
Meaning
From the day Śrī Rāma returned home duly married, there were new festivities and jubilant music (in Ayodhyā) everyday. The fourteen spheres were like huge mountains on which clouds in the shape of meritorious deeds poured showers of joy. (1) The water thus discharged formed into gorgeous rivers of affluence, success and prosperity that rose in spate and flowed into the ocean of Ayodhyā. The men and women of the city were like jewels of a fine quality—pious, invaluable and charming in everyway. (2) The splendour of the capital was beyond description; it seemed as if the Creator’s workmanship had reached its pinnacle here. Gazing on the moon-like face of Śrī Rāmacandra the citizens were all happy in everyway. (3) All the mothers with their companions and maids were delighted to see the creeper of their heart’s desire bear fruit. The king was particularly enraptured when he saw or heard of Śrī Rāma’s beauty, goodness, amiability and genial disposition. (4)
सब कें उर अभिलाषु अस कहहिं मनाइ महेसु। आप अछत जुबराज पद रामहि देउ नरेसु॥१॥
Meaning
All cherished in their heart a common desire and said in their prayer to the great Lord Śiva, “Would it be that the king in his own life-time appointed Śrī Rāma as his Regent.” (1)
