O woman! I have heard your words.
‘You listen to us now and watch our attainments.
Whose body (meaning body) has more strength,
‘The one who displayed an higher aptitude through his semen, you declare him as your husband.’(11)
‘The one who displayed an higher aptitude through his semen, you declare him as your husband.’(11)
After announcing this, swindler went to the town and approached a shop.
He saw all the stamps (in the shop).
He saw a heap of gold-coins there and addressed the Shah.(12)
Dohira
He spoke very Politely and said ‘Oh My Shah
‘Do you want to trade these gold coin with me?’ (13)
Madan Rai, the swindler, had said this after careful reflection,
‘Let us do a deal. You give me Gold coins in exchange of coins rupees.’(I4)
Chaupaee
When the banker heard the talk like this
When the Shah listened to the preposition, he brought out the coin
When the sight of the thug fell on them.
The swindler looked at the coins and checked the dates of minting. (15)
Put the seals in the guthi
He left the coins there, picked up the bag, started to beat the Shah.
(The thug) made a lot of noise in the town
And began to shout very loud, ‘I do not want to sell the coins.’(l6)
All the townspeople heard the noise
People gathered around and saw them in altercation.
By seeing the war of the mukkas
They were surprised to see them in scuffle and asked the reason.(17)
brothers! why are you fighting
‘Why are you fighting, tell us the whole story.’
By holding (you) both
They caught hold of them both and told them to go to the Quazi, the priest arbitrator.(18)
The thug got ready as soon as he heard the talk
The swindler readily agreed and taking the Shah with him left for the Quazi.
Very sad and humbly said.
With great distress he requested the Quazi to do the justice.(19)
Dohira
The Shah too, in agony begged the Quazi,
And asked him to do full justice.(20)
Chaupaee
Hey Kaji! listen to us
By the 'Kalamula' (words of God, i.e. Quran) to you.
God will hear our plea.
We have caught your fight. 21.
Dohira
‘Listen Quazi; listen to our accounts, keeping in mind the honour of Allah.
‘God, Almighty is all perceptive and hope He will facilitate us.(22)
Chaupaee
Then the Qazi thought in his mind (to do justice).
Then the Quazi pondered over and addressed both in the gathering.
