Doha 119
फिरत नारि नर अति पछिताहीं। दैअहि दोषु देहिं मन माहीं॥ सहित बिषाद परसपर कहहीं। बिधि करतब उलटे सब अहहीं॥१॥
निपट निरंकुस निठुर निसंकू। जेहिं ससि कीन्ह सरुज सकलंकू॥ रूख कलपतरु सागरु खारा। तेहिं पठए बन राजकुमारा॥२॥
जौं पै इन्हहि दीन्ह बनबासू। कीन्ह बादि बिधि भोग बिलासू॥ ए बिचरहिं मग बिनु पदत्राना। रचे बादि बिधि बाहन नाना॥३॥
ए महि परहिं डासि कुस पाता। सुभग सेज कत सृजत बिधाता॥ तरुबर बास इन्हहि बिधि दीन्हा। धवल धाम रचि रचि श्रमु कीन्हा॥४॥
Meaning
While returning to their homes the villagers, men and women alike, grievously lamented and blamed Providence in their heart. In doleful accents they said to one another, “The Creator’s doings are all perverse. (1) “He is absolutely uncontrollable (independent), heartless and remorseless. It is He who made the moon sickly (subject to periodical waning) and disfigured it with a dark patch. Again, it is He who made the wish-yielding tree a member of the vegetable kingdom and the ocean saltish. It is the same Creator who has sent these princes into the woods.(2) “If He has chosen the forest as a fit abode for them, in vain has He provided luxuries and enjoyments. If they traverse the road bare-footed, in vain has He created vehicles of various kinds. (3) “If they repose on the ground littered with grass and leaves, why does God take the trouble of making lovely beds? If God has assigned them an abode in the shade of umbrageous trees, in vain has He taken pains to erect splendid palaces. (4)
जौं ए मुनि पट धर जटिल सुंदर सुठि सुकुमार। बिबिध भाँति भूषन बसन बादि किए करतार॥११९॥
Meaning
“If these handsome and most delicate youthful boys are attired in the robes of hermits and wear matted locks of hair, in vain has God created ornaments and costumes of various kinds. (119)
