You and I will go hunting today.
‘Me and you go for hunting today and would take all the women with us.’(2)
Dohira
Acquiescing to her request, Jehangir set out to go for hunting,
And reached the jungle with all the lady-friends.(3)
The ladies in their red clothes were looking so attractive,
That they were penetrating the hearts of both, the humans and the gods (4)
In new clothes, pristine youth, unique features,
And distinctive ear-wears, they were all looking exquisite.(5)
Some fair and some with dark complexion,
All were complimented by Jehangir.(6) .

Some women were riding the elephants and all were holding rifles in the hands.

The deer were so affected by the looks of the Begums,
That they, without any hits, sacrificed their lives.(l2)
Those who were struck with sharp swords could be saved,
But the ones, who were pierced by the arrows through female eyes, could not be.(13)
Chaupaee
Many friends used to race horses
A number of ladies rode the horses and injured the deer,
Some shot deer with arrows.
And a few poor fellows lost their souls and fell down just effected by the arrows out of the female looks.(l4)

The hunting was proceeding thus, when a huge lion emerged.
The king listened to his voice
The Emperor heard the roar, as well, and all the ladies gathered round him.(15)

And then followed the Emperor and the Begums,(l6)
Chaupaee
Seeing (him), Jahangir fired the gun,
Jehangir aimed and shot but could not hit the lion,
Being very angry, the lion ran away
The lion was infuriated and jumped towards the Emperor.(17)
As soon as the lion came, the elephant ran
The she-elephant ran away. Noor Jehan was stunned.
Then Jodhabai saw this (situation).
When Jodha Bai noticed, she aimed and shot the gun.(18)
