Dohira

ਐਸੇ ਬਚਨਨ ਸੁਨਤ ਹੀ ਰਾਜਾ ਭਯੋ ਉਦਾਸੁ ॥

aise bachanan sunat hee raajaa bhayo udaas |

Listening to such exposition, Raja became depressed,

ਭੂਮਿ ਦਰਬੁ ਘਰ ਰਾਜ ਤੇ ਚਿਤ ਮੈ ਭਯੋ ਨਿਰਾਸੁ ॥੨੪॥

bhoom darab ghar raaj te chit mai bhayo niraas |24|

And was dejected with the temporal life, home, wealth, and sovereignty.(24)

ਜਬ ਰਾਨੀ ਐਸੇ ਸੁਨਿਯੋ ਦੁਖਤ ਭਈ ਮਨ ਮਾਹ ॥

jab raanee aise suniyo dukhat bhee man maah |

When the Rani heard all this, she felt afflicted,

ਦੇਸ ਦਰਬੁ ਗ੍ਰਿਹ ਛਾਡਿ ਕੈ ਜਾਤ ਲਖਿਯੋ ਨਰ ਨਾਹ ॥੨੫॥

des darab grih chhaadd kai jaat lakhiyo nar naah |25|

As she learnt that Raja was going away leaving the kingdom, wealth and the home.(25)

ਤਬ ਰਾਨੀ ਅਤਿ ਦੁਖਿਤ ਹ੍ਵੈ ਮੰਤ੍ਰੀ ਲਯੋ ਬੁਲਾਇ ॥

tab raanee at dukhit hvai mantree layo bulaae |

When Rani was in extreme distress; she called in the Minister.

ਕ︀ਯੋਹੂੰ ਨ੍ਰਿਪ ਗ੍ਰਿਹ ਰਾਖਿਯੈ ਕੀਜੈ ਕਛੂ ਉਪਾਇ ॥੨੬॥

kayohoon nrip grih raakhiyai keejai kachhoo upaae |26|

She asked him to suggest her some resolve so that Raja could be kept at home.(26)
