Facially you look so weak?(30)
‘Tell us about your afflictions so that we can suggest you remedies.
‘We may be able to prescribe some medicine.’(31)
Both listened but did not try to respond,
And hung their heads under the stress of love.(32)
When two, three or four days had lapsed,
Both the bodies became conspicuous in love.(33)
The innocent childhood emotions were decimated,
And the new sun came out with fresh inception.(34)
She (the girl) was the daughter of a very genius,
And she was extremely pretty and intelligent.(35)
He (the boy) had recognised her from her apparent condition,
He took her in seclusion and cordially said,(36)
‘O you, the one as tall as cypress tree, moon-faced and silvery body,
‘You the light of the skies and sun of Yaman,(37)
‘I cannot live without you, even for a moment.
‘May be we seem to be two bodies but we are one.(38)
‘You tell me, how are you savouring?
‘My mind and body are always yearning for you.(39)

‘And I swear this on my life.(41)

That what ever there was in their hearts, they were blabbing out.(46)
Their tongues were constantly reiterating,
And except their lovers’ names, they were uttering nothing.(47)
Then the daughter of Maulana, arranged another social,
Which was just for the colourful young and handsome.(48)
All of them became tipsy and inebriated,
And passed over the limits if intellectuals.(49)
Any one who wanted to talk to them about education,
They, being drunk, kept on repeating their lovers’ names.(50)
As the intellect and the presence of mind flew away,
They kept on reciting each other’s names only.(51)
Every one who had some old friend,
Would keep on repeating friends name again and again.(52)
As with such an action one was acknowledged as the lover,
Who could speak cordially and looked handsome and happy.(53)
