SONGS ABOUT THE KING OF OUDH
11.
Jab Raja Mân Sinh Firangi mei a mila, Us waqt Lal Madho par khauf chal mila :"Badmis bhag bbág luke jậke Karbala." Jab Sahbán jákê gber liya bar mala.
12. Tab Rand dil mei socha: ab ábrú ke sath mikal chalnd kAlb hai. Afwaj apni leke Uttar kirib. Sab ráj apni chhopke Begam kl sith di.
18. Akbir kô bad hawks hoe rajgân sab. Kisan namakbarâmt Awadh Shah ghar hai jab. " Angrez bewafat karainge kabo yah kab?" Bar khauf hazir âye yah råjgün sab.
14. Publå hi intizam bandobast marsari ; Barah Zilla kiya hai an arba Kamishnari, Sûbah Awadh men ek hai Judishal Kamishanari, Nisbat apli ke yah dari hai akhiri.
15. Pher bad koitadze mauze kâ had bast kar liya; Dando aur mende kâ sab jhagrå utha diya. Ahini zanjir paimaish shara kiye ; Mamkin aur ghair-mumkin sab juda kiye.
18. Jab kaghzat bilkal tartib kar liya. Tab intizam sali bandobast ka kiya. Har ek ke nám járf hukmnama kar diya. Aur ishthår dêwedari ků de diya.
17. Barab baras ki mayyad muqarrar jo ki gai;
Tiraath ke jagah sal ekk&wan likht gal. Andar maihd qabzah diqri di gai. Qabzah na bůd, arzi khârij kar di gai.
18. Har ek Zild men châr mahakama kbarâ kiyê :Zila, Kalaktarf, Diwani, Ayan kiya. Faajdarf bad bandobast ro diya. Yah hål kab gal, goyi qalam band kar diya.
Translation. When the English took the city of Lucknow, They sont Wajid Ali, who had been king, to Calcutta. He took the princes and the queens with bim, And the great Queen (Victoria) gave him a pension. By their prestige the English took the country of Oudh; And all the chiefs aclenowledged their supremaoy through foar. There was such disorder in the king's house, That the country was devastated and no one took notice. When the English saw that such anarchy was reigning, The Queen's Deputy (the Viceroy) entered the city of Lucknow). By their prestigo the English took the.opuntry or Oudh,
And all the chiefs laid donan their arms through fear.
