Text.
Sripati Maharaj, tu bipati niwaro. Kat aibain Hazrat des hô ? Palila mugim Kabanpur bhejyo: dusra Banaras ját hô. Tisarâ mugam Kalkatwa men bhejyo: Begamon to bhagin pahar hô. Alam Bagh men goliya chalat bain: Machchhi-bhawan meil top hô. Beli-gârad men tegwa chalat hain : banan se andhiyâr hô. Bihar sowain kul râ sipahiye : dewasht men rowain Kotwal ho. Bicb mahaliyê men Begam rowain : lat chhatkîye lambf kes hô. Topiya chhutai wah topkhanwa; hathiya chhutai philkhân hô. Ghore turang sabarwâ: mân chhuté sathi hamar hô. Kaisar Bigh mon Begam rowain : lat chhatkaye lambf kesh ho. Raghunath Kunwar: "Kiripa bhayo bam ko bhayo banbâs hô."
Translation. O Sripati Maharaj (Râm), thou art the remover of calamity. When will my Lord return to his country!
The first halt was Cawapore: the second at Bensres. The third halt was at Calcutta, and the Queens fled to the hills. Ballets were flying in the Alam Bågh: there were cannons in the Machchi-bhawan. Swords were drawn in the Bailey Guard : it was dark with arrows. Outside mourned the sepoys : in the gateway mourned the Kotwal. In the palace moarned the Queen, and let their long locks fall dishevelled. The cannons were left in the magazine: the elephants were left in the stables. The swift horses were left in the city : our friends forgot their sympathy.. The Queens wept in the Kaisar Bagh, and let their long locks fall. Saith Raghunath Knowarl: "It was the pleasure (Ram) that we should be in exile."
