On one branch two were produced 



fit for men of rank to eat. 



As it happened to him, 



by my head and locks may it be so 



with me. 

 Ali, you are a hero, 

 in rocks you get water : 

 The wanderings of the Darvish are 



these. 

 Gentles my story is finished. 



3rd. 



Let me call to mind the Pir of the 



new spring 

 always the true master 

 the king of men; the producer 

 Ye five pure-hearted and ye four 



friends, 

 Be behind the lion's son 

 Be both ye Ma rids and Rostamaris 

 Ye Saringis takers of revenge 

 Be all behind the lion's son 

 The noble Bahram the male lion 

 In his kingdom sitting at ease 

 The Muzaris mounted their mares 

 Kadu with a few horsemen 

 They all saddled their mares 

 His fame for theft was great 

 He went to the Kachi country 

 And brought away the camels with- 

 out number 

 And came harmless to his city 

 They divided lots by arrows and 



straws 

 The noble Gul Mammad Brahui 

 Came with many to the Muzara 

 Saying give me back my strings of 



camels 

 Daraihan the revenger said 

 I will not give them while I live 

 In your ears I tell you Gul Mammad 



plainly 

 Many enemies many 

 We Muzaris have bound and ate 

 Gul Mammad the true said 

 Bahram Muzaii shall hear 

 I will either take camels in return 

 Or the Muzaris shall have my head 

 By the Jaths he sent a challenge 

 Who petitioned to the assembled 



lions 

 The Khans and Navavs of cities 

 Quickly in a moment of an hour 

 The drums beat joyfully 

 The Mir mounts himself 

 With all his brothers 

 By the power of Sultan Arefiga
