उघरहिं बिमल बिलोचन ही के।
मिटहिं दोष दुख भव रजनी के।।
सूझहिं राम चरित मनि मानिक।
गुपुत प्रगट जहँ जो जेहि खानिक।।

ugharahi bimala bilochana hiyeke
mitahi dosa duka bhava rajani yeke
sujiahi rama charita mani manike
gupata pragate jaham jo jehi kanike

With its very appearance the bright eyes
of the mind get opened; the attendant
evils and sufferings of the night of mundane
existence disappear; and gems and rubies
in the shape of stories of Sri Rama, both
patent and hidden, wherever and in
whatever mine they may be, come to light.

Hun verschijning opent de heldere ogen
van de geest; het kwaad en het lijden
van de nacht van het wereldlijk bestaan
verdwijnen; en edelstenen in de vorm
van verhalen over heer Ram worden
zichtbaar.
