‘I have perpetrated, please forgive me,
‘I will remain your slave.’(39)
She soliloquised, ‘If I kill five hundred Rajas like him,
‘Even then Quazi will not come to life.’(40)
‘Now when Quazi is dead, why should I kill him too?
‘Why should I take the curse of killing him upon myself?(41)
‘Wouldn’t it be better if I let him go free,
‘And proceed on pilgrimage to Kabah at Mecca.’(42)
Saying so, she let loose him,
Then she went home and collected a few prominent people.(43)
She gathered her goods, got ready and preyed,
‘Please God, help me to fulfil my ambition.(44)
‘I regret that I am going away from my fraternity,
‘If I remain alive, I may come back.’(45)
She put all her money, jewellery and other precious articles in the bundles,
‘And commenced her journey towards the House of Allah at Kabah.‘(46)
When she had covered three stages of her voyage,
She thought of the house of her friend (Raja).(47)
At midnight, she returned to his house,
Along with all sort of gifts and souvenirs.(48)
The people of the world never realised, where had she gone.
And no body cared what state of affairs she had been passing through?(49)
(The poet says), ‘Oh! Saki, Give me the cup full of green (liquid),
‘Which I need at the time of my nourishment.(50)
‘Give it to me so that I can contemplate,
‘As it kindles my thought like an earthen-lamp.’(51)(5)
The Lord is One and the Victory is of the True Guru.
God, Almighty is benevolent in forgiveness,
He is Enlightener, Provider and Guide.(1)
Neither He has an army nor luxurious living (no servants, no rugs and no materials).
God, the Compassionate, is visible and manifested.(2)
Now, please listen to the tale of the daughter of a minister.
She was very pretty and possessed an enlightened mind.(3)
There lived a wandering Prince who had adorned himself with Cap (of honour) from Rome.
His splendour matched the sun but his nature was as serene as the Moon.(4)
Once, early in the morning he went out hunting.
He took with him a hound, a falcon and a hawk.(5)
He reached a desolate place of hunting.
The Prince killed the lions, leopards and deer.(6)
There came another Raja from the South,
Who roared like a lion and his face gleamed like the moon.(7)
Both the rulers had approached an intricate terrain.
Are not the lucky ones only rescued through their swords?(8)
Doesn’t an auspicious day facilitate one?
Who is endowed aid by the God of gods?(9)
Both the rulers (seeing each other) flew in the rage,
Like the two lions that sprawl over a hunted deer.(10)
Thundering like the black clouds both jumped forward.
