कहेउ राम बियोग तव सीता । मो कह सकल भये बिपरीता ॥
नव तरु किसलय मनहुँ कृसानू । कालनिसा सम निसि ससि-भानू ॥
kaheu rāma biyoga tava sītā | mo kaha sakala bhaye biparītā ||
nava taru kisalaya manahum̐ kṛsānū | kālanisā sama nisi sasi-bhānū ||

Rama's message of love in separation
Hanuman gives Rama's words. Sita, without you everything has turned against me. New leaves look like fire, night is a night of doom, the moon burns like the sun. Rain clouds seem to pour hot oil, and the cool breeze hisses like a serpent's breath. Telling grief eases it, but whom can I tell? Only my mind knows the truth of our love, and that mind stays always with you. Vaidehi, hearing it, is lost in love and forgets her body. Hanuman steadies her: remember Rama, think of his might, drop this faintness. The rakshasas are moths and Raghupati's arrows fire; count them already burnt.
कुबलय विपिन कुन्त बन सरिसा । बारिद तपत तेल जनु वरिसा ॥
जे हित रहे करत तेइ पीरा । उरग स्वास सम त्रिबिधि समीरा ॥
kubalaya vipina kunta bana sarisā | bārida tapata tela janu varisā ||
je hita rahe karata tei pīrā | uraga svāsa sama tribidhi samīrā ||
कहेहू तेँ कछु दुख घटि होई । काहि कहउँ यह जान न कोई ॥
तत्व प्रेम कर मम अरु तोरा । जानत प्रिया एक मन मोरा ॥
kahehū tem̐ kachu dukha ghaṭi hoī | kāhi kahaum̐ yaha jāna na koī ||
tatva prema kara mama aru torā | jānata priyā eka mana morā ||
सो मन सदा रहत तोहि पाहीं । जानु प्रीति रस एतेनहि माहीँ ॥
प्रभु सन्देस सुनत बैदेही । मगन प्रेम तन सुधि नहिं तेही ॥
so mana sadā rahata tohi pāhīṃ | jānu prīti rasa etenahi māhīm̐ ||
prabhu sandesa sunata baidehī | magana prema tana sudhi nahiṃ tehī ||
कह कपि हृदयँ धीर धरु माता । सुमिरु राम सेवक-सुख दाता ॥
उर आनहु रघुपति प्रभुताई । सुनि मम बचन तजहु कदराई ॥
kaha kapi hṛdayam̐ dhīra dharu mātā | sumiru rāma sevaka-sukha dātā ||
ura ānahu raghupati prabhutāī | suni mama bacana tajahu kadarāī ||
निसिचर निकर पतङ्ग सम, रघुपति बान कृसानु ।
जननी हृदयँ धीर धरु, जरे निसाचर जानु ॥
nisicara nikara pataṅga sama, raghupati bāna kṛsānu |
jananī hṛdayam̐ dhīra dharu, jare nisācara jānu ||
