And, after displaying him the cooking-vessel, had asked him to take whatever action he liked.(25)
Chaupaee
When the Rani displayed such an Chritar, he considered her much more nearer to his heart.
Then he whispered to perform some more chicanery,
And, thereafter, with the concurrence of Quazi (justice) wanted to assassinate him.(26)
Dohira
The Begum hit upon a plan, and instructed the maid,
‘Take it to Chandni Chowk and declare, ‘A ghost is in there.’(27)
Chaupaee
She was taking him to get him killed, but the fool in the cookingvessel was happily to be moved.
He was thinking that he would get Rani and then would have sex with her.(28)
They brought the cooking-vessel at the place, where Quazi and Mufti, the priest, used to sit,
And the police indulged to implement justice.(29)
Maid’s Talk
Dohira
Listen, Quazi, there is a ghost in the cooking-vessel.
With your order it should be either buried or put on fire.(30)
Then Quazi pronounced, ‘Listen, the pretty maid,
‘It must be buried, otherwise, ifit is let loose, it may kill any body.’(31)
Then the Quazi, the policeman and the priest gave their permission,
And it was buried in the ground and the ghost along with the Cooking vessel was entombed.(32)
This way the Rani won over the heart of the Emperor,
And with her trickery the woman got him declared as a ghost.(33)(1)

Dohira
In the country of Rajauri, there was a village called Rajpur.
There lived a gujar, the milkman, whose name was Raj Mahal.(1)
Chaupaee
Rajo, a damsel lived there. She was endowed with a charming body.
She fell in love with a man and the milkman suspected.(2)
The lover had no doubt that the milkman had come to know and,
Therefore, he was much scared. He abandoned the village and was never seen.(3)
Dohira
Rajo missed her lover and she remained very depressed.
Dejected, she always desired for a meeting with him.(4)
Chaupaee
The milkman knew the entire secret but did not disclose.
