I live here, says Vibhishana, like the tongue among the teeth. Will the Lord of the Solar race ever see me as helpless and show grace? My body is tamasic, I have no sadhana, no love for His feet. Yet now I have hope, for without Hari's grace one does not meet saints; Raghubir must have blessed me, since you came to me unasked. Hanuman answers that the Lord always loves His servants. And what high birth have I? A restless monkey, lacking in every way; whoever speaks my name at dawn goes without food that day. Even on one so low as me, friend, Raghubir has shown grace. Remembering the Lord's virtues, Hanuman's eyes fill with tears.
सुनहु पवन-सुत रहनि हमारी । जिमि दसनन्हि महँ जीभ बिचारी ॥
तात कबहुँ मोहि जानि अनाथा । करिहहिँ कृपा भानुकुल-नाथा ॥
sunahu pavana-suta rahani hamārī | jimi dasananhi maham̐ jībha bicārī ||
tāta kabahum̐ mohi jāni anāthā | karihahim̐ kṛpā bhānukula-nāthā ||
तामस तनु कछु साधन नाहीँ । प्रीति न पद-सरोज मन माहीं ॥
अब मोहि भा भरोस हनुमन्ता । बिनु हरि कृपा मिलहिँ नहिँ सन्ता ॥
tāmasa tanu kachu sādhana nāhīm̐ | prīti na pada-saroja mana māhīṃ ||
aba mohi bhā bharosa hanumantā | binu hari kṛpā milahim̐ nahim̐ santā ||
जौँ रघुबीर अनुग्रह कीन्हा । तौ तुम्ह मोहि दरस हठि दीन्हा ॥
सुनहु बिभीषन प्रभु कै रीती । करहिं सदा सेवक पर प्रीती ॥
jaum̐ raghubīra anugraha kīnhā | tau tumha mohi darasa haṭhi dīnhā ||
sunahu bibhīṣana prabhu kai rītī | karahiṃ sadā sevaka para prītī ||
कहहु कवन मैं परम कुलीना । कपि चञ्चल सबहीं बिधि हीना ॥
प्रात लेइ जो नाम हमारा । तेहि दिन ताहि न मिलइ अहारा ॥
kahahu kavana maiṃ parama kulīnā | kapi cañcala sabahīṃ bidhi hīnā ||
prāta lei jo nāma hamārā | tehi dina tāhi na milai ahārā ||
अस मैं अधम सखा सुनु, मोहू पर रघुवीर ।
कीन्ही कृपा सुमिरि गुन, भरे बिलोचन नीर ॥
asa maiṃ adhama sakhā sunu, mohū para raghuvīra |
kīnhī kṛpā sumiri guna, bhare bilocana nīra ||
