And began to emit arrows like a rain storm.(84)
Swiftly moving his hands to the right and to the left,
He used the Chinese bow, which thundered the skies.(85)
Who-so-ever was struck with his spear,
He was torn either into two or four pieces.(86)
She wanted to grab him like a vulture seizes its prey,
And a red reptile wrapped around a valiant man.(87)
The intensity of the arrows was so great,
That the soil got drenched with the blood.(88)
All day the arrows were showered,
But none came out to be victorious.(89)
The brave ones became weary with tiredness,
And started to fell flat on the barren land.(90)
The Emperor, the Great, of Rome (sun) covered its face,
And other King (moon) coolly took over the reign.(91)
In this war, none attained the comfort,
And both sides were felling flat like the dead bodies.(92)
But next day again both became vivacious,
And like crocodiles pounced upon each other.(93)
The bodies of both sides were torn apart,
And their chests were laden with blood.(94)
They came dancing like black crocodiles,
And octopuses of the country of Bangash.(95)
The lopsided, black, and spotted horses,
Came in dancing like the peacocks.(96)
Various types of armours,
Were torn apart into pieces in the fight.(97)
The intensity of the arrows was so fierce,
That fire started to emanate from the shields.(98)
The braves commenced dancing like the lions,
And with the hoofs of the horses, the soil looked like the back of leopard.(99)
The fire was let loose with the showers of the arrows so much,
That the intellect abandoned the minds, and the senses took their leave.(100)
Both sides were absorbed to such an extent,
That their scabbards became swordless and the quivers were all emptied.(101)
From morning till evening they continued fighting,
As they did not have time to take meals, they fell flat.(102)
And the tiredness had ousted them absolutely,
Because they had been fighting like two lions, two vultures or two leopards.(103)
When the slave took away the golden crest (sun set).
And the universe was enveloped in the darkness,(104)
Then on the third day the sun triumphed and came out,
And, like moon, everything became visible.(105)
Once again, at the site of the war, they became alert,
And commenced to throw arrows and shoot the guns.(106)
The fight flared again,
And twelve thousand elephants were destroyed.(107)
Seven hundred thousand horses were killed,
