Pranam !!
 
I am looking for lyric and meaning of Tulsi Das Written "Kapi se urin nahin".
 
So far I could see only Pandit Jasraj video on youtube.
 
Thanks,

Here below is the lyrics:
भरतभाई! कपि से उरिन हम नाही ||
एठो खाय अछूत खवावत | हाथ धोवत टक माहि || १ ||


सौ योजन मर्याद सिंधू की | लांग गयो पल माहि |
लंका जाय सिया सोधी लाये | गर्ब नाहि मन माहि || २ ||

He was able to cross the distance hundred yojana-s of ocean within short time, and reached Lanka and brought the news from thee. But he is not having any pride in it.

शती बाण लग्यो लछमन के | शोर भयो दल माहि |
द्रोणागिरी पर्वत ले आयो | भोर होने नहि पायी || ३ ||

Lakshman was hit by hundreds of arrows and there arose calamity in the camp. He brought the Drona mount before the twilight.

अहि रावण की भुजा उखाडी | बैठ रह्यो मठ माहि |
या पर भरत जो हनुमत ना होते | को ल्यावत जग माहि || ४ ||

While we stayed in our camp, the arms of Ahiravan was cut down. But if it is were not for Hanuman, who would have brought us back to this world?* 
This is not a story from popular Ramayana. May be some Adbhutaramayana or Anandaramayana, a Ahiravana is mentioned who was defeated by Hanuman as I remember.

तुलसीदास मारुतसुत महिमा | प्रभु अपने मुख से गायी |
भरतभाई! कपि से उरिन हम नाही || ५ || 

Such is the greatness of Hanuman, and my lord praised it with his own mouth.  


I have no idea of the word meaning. But in the total it seems to convey  his indebtedness to Hanuman, that he could not relieve from indebtedness from Hanuman, the Kapi and remembering the moments by which he was indebted.

Some with perfect knowledge of व्रज भाषा may correct my running translation and correct it.

With regards

Hi ,

As far as I know the meaning is like this

Lord Rama is telling Bharat , that , I am deeply and fully indebted or obliged by what Hanuman has done for me , so , i am his ऋणी . and I will never be able to pay the debt , and become उरिन , i e . opposite of ऋणी ,i.e. in my life I will never be able to become ever , at a stage , when I am without his debt on me , since he has done so much for us . Then he explains what all he did for raama and sita and Lakshman

regards

Aatmiya Vineetji,

it is a Tulsidasji Bhajan very beautifully sung by Pt. Jasraj ji in Raag Des.
you may listen to the Bhajan as well as enjoy the lyrics with meanings on this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgEBI2ikus8

some additional inputs on the youtube video :

at 1:42 it is ऐठो खाय अछूत खवावत, हाथ धोवत तट मांही
it describes Hanumanji's simplistic (rather rustic) behavior. He does not have the polish or finesse of washing his hands at designated place but washes them in तट (the very dish in which he ate).
यहां तुलसीदासजीने हनुमानजीको एक भोले गँवार जैसे बताकर, बादमें उनकी शक्तिओंके बारेमें रामजीसे कहलवाकर अनूठा contrast खडा किया है।
at 3:00 it is लाँघ गयो
at 3:45  लंका जाय सिया सुधी लाय, गरव नहि मन मांही
at 4:47 शक्ति बाण...  powerful and not 100 (Indrajit hurls his Shakti baan and Lakshman falls unconscious)
at 6:30 अहिरावण ...  In the Ramayana Ahiravan , brother of Ravana,  secretly carried away Rama and  Lakshmana to the nether-world, consulted his friends and decided to sacrifice the life of the two divine brothers at the altar of his chosen deity, goddess Mahamaya. But Hanuman saved their life by killing Ahiravan and his army.
बैठ रह्यो मठ मांही - inspite of such a great velor he humbly confined himself to solitude, not craving for recognition or appreciation.
at 8:04 को ल्यावत जग मांहि ... who would have brought us back (alive) on earth (but for Hanuman).

a humble attempt to answer your query, hope you would like it.

while listening to Pt. Jasraj ji's rendition, enjoy the sonorous effect created by Sitar and Sarod combo.

a very scintillating and भक्तिभावपूर्ण रचना जिसमें स्वयं भगवान अपने भक्तकी मुक्तमन सराहना करते हैं।  हम भी ऐसी ही भक्तिके अधिकारी बन सकें ऐसी प्रभु चरणॊंमें प्रार्थना ।
हरि ॐ










best regards,
Hari Aum.
