" Sil Kanwar beti, suno : kyilii man men dilgir
1 180 Kyftn bhojan karti nahlii bahe nain se nir
Bahe nain se nir Thai kyiin pare, ri, bagaya
Sach batao bbed, nahin kyun bhojan khaya
Kyun tera badan malin phiri mukh pe zard fii !
Kya kin ne dini gal mujhe de sach batae.
1185 Do main khal vAkv, jib duiigi katwae.
Na rakhuh pal ik ; turt us ko marwae."
Slla
Dal,
" Ai Matij turn se kahiin, lagi badan men ag.
Shah ka jogi ho gaya, aya tumhare bagh.
Ay a tumhare bagh: tumhen. main pir sanai.
8ila. Dai's Mother-
" Lady Sila, my daughter, hear : why is thy heart
sorrowful
1180 Why dost thou not eat (why) fall tears from thy
eyes
Fall tears from thy eyes why send thy plate away
Tell me the truth, or else how can I eat my food
Why dost wander with wizened form why is thy face
pale
Has any one abused thee
Tell me the truth.
11S5 I will severely beat him ;
* I will have his tongue cut out
Nor will I delay a moment: I will have him slain at
once."
SiU Dal
" mother, I tell thee, my body is aflame.
The merchant (my husband) has become a pgi, and has
come into thy garden.
Has come into thy garden ! (and now) have I told thee
my grief.
* Lit. May his skin.
