Clothed in red, the king put on the guise of a mendicant. Clothed in red, his followers pat on the guise of mendicants. O, my Lord built the Kaisar Bagh, but did not enjoy it.
No. IV. The Departure of the Bahu Begam to England in appeal. Songs in honour of the Bahu Begam's departure to England to appeal.' Recorded by Rain Ghartt Chaube.
Tert. Nandan ke joyyd, are nd bahu ré. Allah tumhen lawe! Layai Nabi aur Rasul ! Turk sawaran paidal hoye gaye, galiyon men roye sipah. Hath bhf bik gaye, ghore bht b.k gaye, unt bhí ho gaye nillám.
Nandan ked joyd re, ad baku né ! Kaisa hai wah desh ? Keke, rê, hâth chithiya likh bhejųó? Keke, rê, hath sandesh ? KAgi ke hath chithiya likh bhenjan ? Panchhth bath sandesh ?
Nandan ke joyd re, nd bahu re. Dekhan ko jlya hoya. Lagt rê bazariya, Sahab, tort jahan bikain hîrê aar lal, Chaturâ chatari sandå kar gayê, rah gaye murakh ganwâr. Nandan ke joyd ré, nd bahs ré.
Translation. Going to London", thou art no daughter-in-law,
May God bring thee back! May the Lieutenant and Prophet (of God; Mubammad) bring thee back!
The Turkish horsettian have become foot, and the sepoys complain in the streets. The elephants and horses have been sold, and the camels put to auction. Going to London, thou art no daughter-in-law !
Of what kind is that country P By whose hand may I send a letter! By whose hand my news? Shall I send my letter by the crows ? my news by the birds ?
Going to London, thou art no daughter-in-lawo.
I long to see thee. O Englishman, there is thy market where diamonds and rubies are sold. The clover have sold their merchandise : the fools and clodhoppers have been left. Going to London, thou art no daughter-in-law.
No. V.
