" Sunke tumhare bachan koj gid krodh tan chhae :
Ab jiwat chhoriin nahin : dunga pran ganwae.

Mar koriinj khal urd dAn : rata krodh tan chhao.
295 Main janun tha hai satwaut! ; augun rahi chbipae.
Tirya jat ^aqal mat hini ;

Itni hi sanjog likba tha :
Ai BhM, soche mati :
Sab'ir Dei.

hogi jagat hansae.
Bidhna bat banai."

Hearing your words my body is full of anger :
I will not now let her live ;
I will destroy her life :
at once.
I will destroy her life.
I will turn her out of the palace
I will beat her and flay off her skin : my body is full of
anger.
295 I thought her virtuous and secretly she was vile.
Womenkind are without thought or mind : praise them
not with thy mouth.
Hold them as the very pit of deceit ! The world will
jeer (at her).
My connection with her is at an end :
* Fate hath done
this."
Sabtr Dei.
" Ah Brother, grieve not : make a plan.
300 What Send her to her father ; do not destroy her life.
Do not destroy her life :
It is no secret :
I will tell thee a plan.
go and ask the whole palace.
* Lit., This much connection (fate) had written.
