Crying and wailing she went to the city policeman.(6)

She cried, ‘Live-in son-in-law has run away with my daughter.
‘The Sun has set, but he has not come back. I have no news of them.’(7)
When the Quazi (the justice) and the policeman heard this, they both, laughingly, shook their heads.
‘When you have married your daughter to him, then what if he has taken her to his house.’(8)

Once the Rani invited a very Handsome man,
She made love with him to her full satisfaction of her heart.(3)

Raja appeared when they were making love.
Rani was very much anguished.
(She thought,) ‘What should I do about him.
Should I kill him and then terminate my life.’( 4)
Then the paramour narrated, ‘Rani, don’t worry about me.
‘Give this melon to me after eating its pulp yourself.’(5)
Rani complied and after cutting it let him eat the melon.
Then she replaced the shell on his head and made a whole at the top for breathing.( 6)
Dohira
