He. Har sawar Murad kolon Mile sutte Ranjheto nan A, Mian. Hir kho-lae turt Ranjhne thou; Kita mar faqir fand, Mian. Akhil Hir: "J& kök tan pas adali" Ranjha kakyai uthe ja, Mian. Singha ! Ranjhne di suni kak Raje; Khere laini zabt kara, Mian!
Translation. By violence the horsemen with Murad, Came upon Ranjh& while he slept. They quickly dragged Hîr away from Ranjha And beat the faqir (Ranjha). Hîr said: "Go thou and cry for justice to the judge." Ranjhå went and raised his cry. [Says Asaj Singh: The Raja listened to Ranjha's cry, And seized the property of the Kheris.
