Invited him besides him and, then, handed him over (to the woman).(35)
(She said to the Prince), ‘You have easily attained the freedom,
‘Now you apprehend them (Raja and his Councillors). I love you more than my life’.(36)
She held the folds of her turban with one hand,
And put the other hand on the scabbard of her sword,(37)
She gave four lashes to each one of them (the grass-cutters),
And said, ‘You, the ignorant, you don’t know anything.(38)
‘You have come here where there is no grass to cut.
‘The God only is my witness,’(39)
‘God is my Protector,
‘He is Forgiver and, I am sure, He will excuse my lie.‘(40)
After gaining freedom for his sovereign,
She left that place for her own abode.(41)
(The poet says), ‘Oh! Saki, give me green wine to drink,
Because the Master of the Intellect prevails all over.(42)
‘Saki! Give me the cup full of greenish (liquid),
“Which soothes during the wars and the lonely nights.”(42)
The Lord is One and the Victory is of the True Guru.
God is all-benevolent,
He is luminously manifest and dominates all the domains.(1)
His will prevails, and his blessedness is splendid,
And the splendid blessedness is epitome of sagacity.(2)
When Asphand Yaar departed from this world taking all his belongings (deeds) with him,
He conferred the sovereignty to his son, Bahmin.(3)
That Bahmin had a daughter, who was like the wings of phoenix.
And she was elegantly graceful and quite affluent (4)
When Bahmin, as well, departed from this world facing his destiny,
He bestowed the sovereignty to his daughter.(5)
She was the one, who was like the phoenix of Rome,
Spread over to progress like the spring season.(6)
When fourteen years had gone by and she became teen-ager,
Her charm gained the full swing.(7)
She reached the same stage,
As the rose flower which bloomed in the garden.(8)
Her beauty enchanted like the blue bird that scintillated in the spring,
And like the moon that adorned itself in joyous weather.(9)
The childlike innocence was still depicting,
When the flavour of youth descended on her.(10)
When all her childhood flew away,
And the spell of adolescence over powered,(11)
Then she enthroned herself on the royal seat,
And pondered over the regal papers prevalent there.(12)
Once she came across an appraiser of diamonds (jeweller),
And, taking the advantage of darkness, she took him inside.(13)
She kept him in for two, three, four months,
And through the semen of that tycoon, she became pregnant.(14)
When nine month have gone by,
The delightful lady felt movement of child birth.(15)
