And said, ‘Oh you the one with such exquisite body,(132)
‘What ever you desire, tell me, I will grant,
‘Because, Oh, the lion-hearted, I am a slave to you.’(133)
‘Oh, you the toiling-hard in your deeds,
‘Take me as your wife and endow me to become a kind woman.’(134)
She stamped her feet on the chest of the earth,
And repeated the custom of her predecessors (married him).(135)
He (Subhat Singh) was laid down on the chariot, and she brought him home,
And the king of kings (her father) beat the drums (in happiness).(136)
With the noise of the drums, when he (Subhat Singh) was awaken,
He asked, ‘In whose house, I have been brought in?’(137)
She replied, ‘I have won you in the war,
And through the war I have taken you as my husband.’(138)
He repented on the unintended words he had spoken,
But what could be done then and he accepted (the marriage).(139)
(The poet says), ‘O, Saki, Give me the cup full of green (liquid),
Which I need at the end of the long day.(140)
Give me so that my heart brims with freshness,
And fetches the pearls out of the depleted soil.(141)
The Lord is One and the Victory is of the True Guru.
You are my guide and you are my counsellor,
You lead us, holding our hands, in both the worlds.(1)
You are our support and provider.
You recognise our deficiency, and are our redeemer.(2)
I have heard the Tale of a Quazi,
And I have never seen as good a person as him.(3)
In his household, there was dame, who was at the prime of her youth.
Her coquetry had made the lives of all the people unendurable.(4)
On seeing her, lilacs hung their heads down,
And the flowers of tulip plants felt their hearts rending.(5)
On her sight the Moon became hesitant
And, in the passion of jealousy, it diminished half of its brightness.(6)
Whenever she strolled out of her house on an errand,
The tresses of her hair sneaked around her shoulders like the clusters of hyacinth.(7)
If ever she washed her face in the river water,
The thorny bones of the fish would turn into flowers.(8)
When she looked into the pitcher of water,
The water was turned into liquor known as the Wine of Narcissus.(9)
She saw a young Raja,
Who was very handsome and famous in the world.(10)
(She) said, ‘Oh! my Raja, let me be besides
your throne (make me your Queen).’ 11)
(The Raja replied), ‘First of all you go, slay the head of Quazi, your husband,
‘Thereafter, my house will be your abode.’(12)
Hearing this she concealed the secret in her heart,
And did not disclose it to any other woman.(13)
She found her husband in deep slumber,
She took a sword in her hand and severed his head off.(14)
