Doha 137
परम स्वतंत्र न सिर पर कोई। भावइ मनहि करहु तुम्ह सोई॥ भलेहि मंद मंदेहि भल करहू। बिसमय हरष न हियँ कछु धरहू॥१॥
डहकि डहकि परिचेहु सब काहू। अति असंक मन सदा उछाहू॥ करम सुभासुभ तुम्हहि न बाधा। अब लगि तुम्हहि न काहूँ साधा॥२॥
भले भवन अब बायन दीन्हा। पावहुगे फल आपन कीन्हा॥ बंचेहु मोहि जवनि धरि देहा। सोइ तनु धरहु श्राप मम एहा॥३॥
कपि आकृति तुम्ह कीन्हि हमारी। करिहहिं कीस सहाय तुम्हारी॥ मम अपकार कीन्ह तुम्ह भारी। नारि बिरहँ तुम्ह होब दुखारी॥४॥
Meaning
“You are absolutely of free will, with no one to check you; therefore, You do whatever amuses Your mind. You debase a good soul and redeem a vile person and neither rejoice nor grieve over it. (1) “Deceiving everyone, You have become habitual to such tricks. You entertain no fear and are always zealous in pursuing Your object. Good and evil deeds do not come in Your way; no one has so far been able to set you right. (2) “You have this time played with fire and shall reap what You have sown. Take that very form in which You have deceived me: this is my curse. (3) “You made me look like a monkey; therefore, You shall have monkeys for Your helpmates. And as You have grievously wronged me, so shall You suffer the pangs of separation from Your wife.” (4)
श्राप सीस धरि हरषि हियँ प्रभु बहु बिनती कीन्हि। निज माया कै प्रबलता करषि कृपानिधि लीन्हि॥१३७॥
Meaning
Gladly accepting the curse, the compassionate Lord made many entreaties to the sage, and withdrew the irresistible spell of His Māyā. (137)
