Other woman, with whom she had bet, lived near her house.
Now listen to her story with reformation.(2)
Chaupaee
Her name was Chhalchhider (the deceptive) Kumari
And she lived with the woman of another Mughal.
What deceit she performed,
Now I recount that to you to amuse You.(3)
Arril
One day she collected some henna-powder and, showing it off to
Husband, put it on to tinge her hands with sensual henna-paste.
She had, politely, told her other (boy) friend that she would come to
Him for making love, as well.( 4)
Chaupaee
Realizing that her (boy) friend had come, she asked her (husband)
Friend, ‘I wanted to go to urinate.
‘When I come back you help me to tie my waist-band (because my
Hands are smeared with henna-paste).(5)
Dohira
She got the waistband untied by her first friend and went to the other one.
And without fear indulged in love making with that regal paramour.(6)
Arril
When the benevolence of gold coins is available, who would accept the ones of base metal?
If one abandons the opulence, why would one go after wealth?
Who would like to go to poor man’s house after leaving the richman?
Who would remember the poor, forsaking the Raja aside?(7)
Dohira
After making love with great satisfaction, she sent away the prince.
She came, with hands still besmeared in henna-paste, and asked the first lover to tie up the waist band.(8)
Listening to her, the foolish lover came forward without understanding the secret.
He, still with love for her in his heart, got up and tied the waist- band.(9)
Howsoever you may be in love, and you may be in love-sickness,
You should not fall in love with a young woman.(10)(1)
