Dohira

ਪੁਤ੍ਰ ਸੇਜ ਕੇ ਚਹੂੰ ਦਿਸਿ ਲੇਤ ਭਵਰਿਯਾ ਨਿਤ ॥

putr sej ke chahoon dis let bhavariyaa nit |

‘This son kept on going around in the four directions of the bed,

ਵਹੈ ਜਾਨੁ ਤੁਮਰੇ ਫਿਰੀ ਸਤਿ ਸਮਝਿਯਹੁ ਚਿਤ ॥੩੭॥

vahai jaan tumare firee sat samajhiyahu chit |37|

‘That is why I went away from you. Please do believe, it is true.’(37)

ਪ੍ਰਿਯ ਤ੍ਰਿਯ ਕੌ ਹਨਿ ਨ ਸਕਿਯੋ ਮਨ ਤੇ ਖੁਰਕ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥

priy triy kau han na sakiyo man te khurak na jaae |

The Raja could not kill the wife, but his doubt was not eliminated,

ਤਾ ਦਿਨ ਤੇ ਤਿਹ ਨਾਰਿ ਸੌ ਰਮ︀ਯੋ ਨ ਰੁਚਿ ਉਪਜਾਇ ॥੩੮॥

taa din te tih naar sau ramayo na ruch upajaae |38|

And from that day onward he never made love to her.(38)

ਭਾਤਿ ਭਾਤਿ ਨ੍ਰਿਪ ਨਾਰਿ ਕਹ ਭਜਤ ਹੁਤੋ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇ ॥

bhaat bhaat nrip naar keh bhajat huto sukh paae |

He did think many a time to enjoy with her,

ਬਾਤ ਆਇ ਚਿਤਿ ਜਾਇ ਜਬ ਘਰੀ ਨ ਭੋਗਾ ਜਾਇ ॥੩੯॥

baat aae chit jaae jab gharee na bhogaa jaae |39|

But with the same episode in his mind he could not revel sexually.(39)
