SakhI Sarwar's Miracle with DanJ, the Jatt Womaw,
True Master of all power !
May tlie God of (us) all throw a curtain (over our sins) !
(He that) doeth whatever he listeth j
Who hath thwarted his desire
5 He giveth and lie taketh away
Master and Giver of all life :
In the Idhh and some eight-four lives f
God hath given sustenance !
Sarwar dwelt in the mountains,
10 And gave sons in charity.
Making whole the blind and leprous
If there was pain, he put it away.
(Next). There are a hundred castes in the Tribes :
He joined follower and follower f together:
15 As they used to be from the beginning.
Who hath thwarted his desire
Twelve years of wedded-hfe had passed.
And Daui prayed to the Saint.
God gave Dani a son,
20 And made him a follower of Saints
Making ready a thank-offering
Dani called a bard (of Sarwar).
When the bard came he sang his song, and news of it reached
Dani's husband who was a follower of Gurft Nanak, while he
was (working) at his well outside. He came home at once and
was very angry with Dani and said
" Thou shalt not take this one's name again."
And he threatened Dani
25 He took D§,ni and thrust her inside
And threatened her at the threshold.
