THE OAUHRAS.
M&r8 mdha kulle langh gaé nahrné hoe ne barani To seek the midwives. Thus she used to say, Tuhannú sári khabar hai kull pot bhandardi My time is fully come, the twelfth month Mainų dassố khólké saridh anwaran

Is past. These things you understand : the Kikrá chand nihatin tainu patd nahin ayá ? womb P& téré vich dard nahin tainu dukh nahin dyd ? With all its states you know : come tell me them Rani hok& bahéngi jad balak jayd,
The truth. The midwives just to please her Jai oh bahindi palang té jad rain vihdoi

Her stories. Tell as now,' they said, 'what Maina kdi khabar nahin main dql aniyání month Tainá khabardi, Qadird, phir tuen jdnin Yon bathed. You have forgotten quite. Well Karé vakhdidi dil nal, duniya dbaj si méla, then Tad bhand drón kú péya phir Alif Chela. Have you no pains: no pangs have you? No? Din manné mdta méré gwú dd tdi hath nahi Then dund véla.
Be comforted, you will be bappy when Tdi mdi putr dd howegå phir jald ki mélá.
You bear a son.' She sat in thought all night Kehr & térdgurd hai, bachchd mainús dlh sundis Upon her cot. She said, O Lord, within Main palla kharch pdké 'ur pardi sabhaia my womb Kitthe Shdd pind hai, rahnda kehri thdia What wonder is ? All ignorant am I, Mais bhulké tur pavdigi paiké lamni rdhin A woman knowing nothing. Only Thou Akhó Thaumprd mérd gurú hai, mata koi ndl Almighty God knowest all. I trust in Thee iman
All in her heart she said, "The world is
strange.' Then Alif Chela spake within the womb.
Oh mother mine, be follower of my guide. Disciple of my teacher be, lose not This bappy time, for if 'tis lost to you, In vain is consequent repentance. See, On your belief depends our meeting.' Son She said, who is your teacher P I'll prepare And baste me at the dawn to seek him. His village name. Where dwells he ? At tbe
dawn I'll go, and find him though the way be long. My guide and teacher Jhaumprâ is,' said he,
Believe this, mother. Ten times told he will Das anidr w kind duniyd te shan,
Become incarnate, bringing glory to the world Dassé autdr wasé dé uggé, main japndi nam In all the ten. His name I will proclaim. Chuhr Kalak Das dd majab hai tamdm. The faith of Kalak Dâs, the Chuhra, is Jihra Shehe kalma parhegd Mohammad da ok A perfect faith. If any Shalf read bendn.
Muhammad's creed, an unbeliever he Jihsé parangê Baba Nanak da dh bhi nahin Is branded; and if Bibà Nanak's, be partran.
Shall be rejected; all that do profess Jihré parhengé Balé pir da dargdhe pawan. The creed of Balê straight to heaven shall go. Chélé siftdi joridi sab Ichol bayan.
Disciples have compiled his praises.' Still Mds chels ndl jhagardí, Bachcha kéhra gura The mother reasons with the Chela, Child, hai sangf.
What guide will be our helper, how will be Kfkar duniyd te uss dúid ôs kéhri rangi? Become incarnate? In what form appear? Sach hod tdi man levda qaul karar kardngt. If this be true, I will believe, and make Chelt sildi jóridi bah rang ba rangi.
A firm profession.' So disciples wrote Chald dassé mda nún, phir das antar
