चौपाई
Chaupai
Four short lines with a steady beat.
A chaupai has four lines with an even rhythm, and long runs of them carry a story forward. Tulsidas built the Ramcharitmanas on this form, so reading one feels like stepping into a recitation already under way.

बनें बनायें किन्तु बिगड़ती बात बनावें। हँसें हँसावें किन्तु हँसी अपनी न करावें।
