May you live many years 

 Mathusalem lived for 800 years,then 



died 

 The rain has fallen I have got wet 

 Put my clothes in the sun 

 I was two months in Hyderabad 

 What did you do for two months 



at Hyderabad 

 I have learnt the Brahuiky language 



and now I am a Brahui 

 Is there any good cloth produced in 



that village ? 

 I will take a score 

 . I take them to Khorasan to sell 

 In a month by the blessing of God 



your hands and feet will be well 

 To-day you are perspiring 

 That mulberry will ripen in two 



months 

 I will go to Sehwan to pay my devo- 

 tions to Peer, what is the hire of 



a boat ? 

 I have heard that circumstance 

 Smell that flower 

 He sneezed 

 Sir, I have a cold 

 My nose is running 

 Catch that bird it has eaten all my 



grain 

 He asked me for two rupees 

 Cut your hair, it has grown long 



Translation. 



He. 



I will move as a censer round thee, 



my precious little ruby ! 

 She. 

 I will come with thee, oh fair and 



loved youth ! 



He. 

 You say yes, but perhaps you won't 



come, my precious little ruby ; 

 Now you will give, now you won't 



give, oh beautiful young maid. 

 Don't stand on the terrace, my bright 



tulip, 

 The old bawd will see you, oh beau- 

 tiful young maid ! 

 She will make you hers,0 lovely lily,' 



2nd. 

 Oh zabu ! give me a little water, 

 Water from those hands must be 



sweet ; 

 Give me a little water, O mistress of 



(thy slave's) house, give me a 



little water, 

 Water from those hands must be cool, 

 Give me a little water.
