Dáná pakki bahut karé, vágái tôn pharké, Agge dhar leduri, nál léáo pharke Ethé paliar lêduná vékhôge na kharké. Unhán ghôré laé thajá Atard langhé, Kite kam ķhudá de phir hônge change.

A hundred horsemen marched-they rode in
force, And Dânå gave them orders strict to seize And chain him; thus to bring him quickly, nor Take time to look again towards him, but To hasten back. They spurred their horses--
passed Atâwâ, all the Lord's great works are good. Those lines above are beautiful that he Has painted - Loa thunderstorm is here. How will it pass? They to Naushera came. And first a barber Jâma met them. Straight He told them all about the priest, the man Who had been boy till just that morning, since The boy had in a trice grown man, assumed The form of age in the afternoon, and so Was called old man - all in a single day He reached the third stage - youth and mid
dle age He passed, and entered white old age. To talk With calmness is the property of age And wisdom : therefore said he calmly, 'Sirs, Beware of harm. I do not seek to vex Or injure you.' A soldier then approached And said, Your servants we--Judge Dana calls You. Fixed upon the bow the arrow lies: It cannot miss you. If it does, 'tis ours To throw again, to make it sure. Disciple I Have made this song. Repeat it. Asked the
priest, • What wants your judge with me P I have not
bought His property; I have not stolen his goods; He gave for me no pledge that I might have Sufficiency of corn. What reason is That ye have come from him ?' The soldier's
face Grew pale ; he nerveless grow, just like
shrew That while she stays makes neighbours trem
ble, but A day comes when rebellious she denies To do her husband's will, and he grows fierce, Rough seizes her, and casts her out disgraced. 80 stood the soldier, (Praise the priest),
abashed;
Na kuchh bhdá chukiyd na churá lé dé, Na us admin hoké sannd dané dalde. Tuhannú sdri khabar hai tussin utthôi de Rang sipdhi dd udded, kuchh chard na challs. Jichar ki vasdi ghar vich hówan tharthalle Il din na lagdi khdvand di gallé Gal thón pakapké kaddhd na kuchh banhdi
palle. Uded rang sipdhi da, kuchh chard na challe, Ihô vas sipahi da (pir ji !) kuchh man nahi
palle. Baile pir dil vich dalel guzari Pir paikambar chal gay& gayi saddi vdri. Dhainsar hata chal gayd tarlóké dé váli
