Doha 14
हरिजन जानि प्रीति अति गाढ़ी। सजल नयन पुलकावलि बाढ़ी॥ बूड़त बिरह जलधि हनुमाना। भयहु तात मो कहुँ जलजाना॥ १॥
अब कहु कुसल जाउँ बलिहारी। अनुज सहित सुख भवन खरारी॥ कोमलचित कृपाल रघुराई। कपि केहि हेतु धरी निठुराई॥२॥
सहज बानि सेवक सुखदायक। कबहुँक सुरति करत रघुनायक॥ कबहुँ नयन मम सीतल ताता। होइहहिं निरखि स्याम मृदु गाता॥३॥
बचनु न आव नयन भरे बारी। अहह नाथ हौं निपट बिसारी॥ देखि परम बिरहाकुल सीता। बोला कपि मृदु बचन बिनीता॥४॥
मातु कुसल प्रभु अनुज समेता। तव दुख दुखी सुकृपा निकेता॥ जनि जननी मानहु जियँ ऊना। तुम्ह ते प्रेमु राम कें दूना॥५॥

(1) “Now tell me, I adjure you, the welfare of all-blissful Śrī Rāma and His younger brother, Lakṣmaṇa. Wherefore has the tender-hearted and compassionate Śrī Raghunātha become so hard-hearted? (2) “Does Śrī Raghunātha ever remember me—He who by natural disposition is a source of delight to His servants? Will my eyes, dear Hanumān, be ever soothed by the sight of His swarthy and delicate limbs?” (3) Words failed Her and Her eyes swam with tears. ‘Ah, my lord! You have entirely forgotten me.’ Seeing Sītā sore distressed due to Her separation from Her lord, Hanumān addressed Her in soft and polite accents: (4) “The Lord and His younger brother Lakṣmaṇa are both doing well, mother, except for the fact that the all-merciful is sorrowful because of Your sorrow. Do not feel disconsolate at heart, mother; Śrī Rāma loves You twice as much as You love Him.(5)
रघुपति कर संदेसु अब सुनु जननी धरि धीर। अस कहि कपि गदगद भयउ भरे बिलोचन नीर॥१४॥
Meaning
“Mother, compose Yourself now and hear the message of Śrī Raghunātha.” Even as he uttered these words, Hanumān’s voice got choked with emotion and his eyes were filled with tears, (14)
