Bahot dinori se rahe fikar yeh na man ko samjhaya !"

Tu apna man samajh le, bole bachan khor.
Bole bachan khor^ Baran; tain kya man men jani

" Give me half in share ; there is no unfairness in that :
You look to your interests and speak hard words.
Speak hard words, my brother : what is in your heart
875 Wo will take half shares each ; you spoke evil words.
Go and ask Mother Bachhal; is she a fool

heart to-day.
If you speak evil words from your lips, you will lose
your kingdom.
No good will come of the thing you have resolved in
your heart."
