Through his manliness, he had blown up the enemies.(6)
(Another) one of the King's ministers was very shrewd,
Who inspired the subject but perpetrated the enemies.(7)
That minister had a daughter, who was as illuminated as light,
And her name was named 'Roshan Dimaagh' (lit. Enlightened Intellect).(8)
The King admitted two of his children,
Who had been sauntering too long, in school.(9)
They were admitted with a wise Maulana (religious priest) of Rome,
Who had been endowed with wealth and land.(10)
Other children were present there too,
Who used to read their lessons from the books.(11)
They all would bring their books tucked under their arms,
Often there were discussions on Tohra and Anjeel.(12)
For the teaching of seven languages, two schools were established.
One for the males; the other for the females.(13)
The boys were taught by a Maulana, (A male Islamic scholar),
A knowledgeable lady instructed the girls.(14)
A wall was built between the two sections,
The boys were kept on the one side and girls on the other.(15)
Both sides were endeavouring hard,
To learn and excel over the other side,(16)
Everyone read all the books,
Which were written both in Persian and Arabic.(17)
They discussed education among themselves,
Irrespective of the fact whether they were intelligent or irrational.(18)
They raised the flags to acquire education for the swordsmanship,
As soon as they reached the ages of maturity.(19)
As the spring season approached,
In both the factions, the China syndrome sprung up.(20)
Like the King of kings of China, their desires rose,
Particularly, the ladies achieved the beauteous treats.(21)
All of them blossomed like garden,
And all the friends indulged in merriment.(22)
Inside that wall, a mouse used to live,
Which had caused holes to appear in the wall.(23)
Through them two (people) used to observe each other,
One was the light of the universe and the other sun of the Yamanee Skies.(24)
Thus those two were trapped in the love affair,
And they neglected their education and the worldly awareness.(25)
Their entanglement in the love was so intense,
That both of them lost the senses of managing the stirrups of their horses.(26)
They both asked each other, ‘Oh the cherished one, you are like the sun,
‘And you, the Enlightener of the universe, and taking after the moon, how are you?’(27)
When both of them were passing through such a state,
Both, the male and female teachers, asked,(28)
‘O, you the lamp of the skies and the Enlightener of the universe,
‘Why do you seem to be languishing?(29)
‘Tell us, our loved ones, what has distressed you?
