sake! SARWAR and DANI JATTi, 79
Ddni.
Listeiij thou son of Zainu-'l-'abadin ;*
100 I married into a Sikh's Louse
My husband's family are Sikhs and strangers' children :
Seizing thy skirt I am come,
If in this thou disappoint me
Who will support me in future
Sarwar.
105 In the future good deeds will bring salvation.
The bad cannot mix with the good.
If it be a pain (colic) I can cure it
(But) who hath restored the dead to life
Bdni.
Hold, Saint ! why dost vex (me)
110 Thou didst make the dry forest green :
In the coldest month of January.
The wan f tree brought forth fruit
Sarwar.
All the people of the forest
Together made petition to the Saints
115 God heard their prayer
And the wan tree brought forth fruit.
Ddni.
Said Dani, " Listen, babbler
The/agw's ate the kids of the flock
Made whole they were restored to their mothers
120 Into the heads and hoofs and skins
Who had put the life 1"
Sarwar.
They were three hundred and sixty men of God
No hand (foot) of mine was there
Coming (together) the fai^irs made a prayer
125 God heard and granted it.
