1920.] R. O. WinsTEDT: Malay Charms. 133 
Take sand from her footprint, wrap it in a square 
of white cloth, the breadth of the span between thumb 
and first finger ; tie in thread of seven colours ; fumigate 
it with incense; recite the charm thrice, turning the 
cloth round once at each recital; or recite it thrice, 
turning the cloth round seven times. Do this continu- 
ally or five times day and night. 
(I got this from ’Enche Kuning, a Klang man; he | 
asked for limes and salt, 3 swku in cash, five -vards of 
white cloth, and a needle). This is the charm 
In the name of God, the Merciful, the Ceci 
ate! 
My cooking-place is built of the magic bamboo that 
excites to love 
Of magic bamboo and of lodestone from the navel 
of the sea. 
May my beloved’s virtue be turned as I turn this 
cloth ! 
May she fall in love beyond cure, 
Her heart and liver and soul dizzy w mits love, 
The soul of her, her body and spirit 
Come to me, beloved ! 
Be mad with love for me only, by night and day! 
For I know the origin whence you sprang, etc. 
(4) Sa-bagaz lagi hikmat kundang. 
Ambul satu limau; ambil pula lidi ktlapa ijau sa-potong, 
chuchok képala limau itu térus-méntrus, biar lébeh kiri 
kanan-nya panjang satu jari témpat méngeantong-nya atu. 
Ada pun bénang pénggantong-nya itu bénang tujoh warna,. 
Dan biar lébeh bénang itu dan ikat bénang sapérti itu juga, 
_biar térgantong di-bawah, tempat ménytmbunyikan-nya itu. 
Maka ambil pula tujoh lidi, tajamkan, kirt kanan-nya 
ttkam ttrus pada perut limau itu, kira-kira lébeh sa-bélah 
kirt kanan-nya dua jart gantong. Marifat ménikam itu 
ménikam mata hati jantong nyawa roh hémpétdu. Buboh 
bunga mtlor pada ujong lidi itu satu-satu. Ada pun mula 
mémbuat-nya itu dart pétang hari thalatha; jika sampai 
tiga hari, pada pttang jumaat. Tatkala kita ménikamkan 
lidt, maartfatkan ménikamkan hati ptr¢mpuan itu. Bacha 
doa tiga kalt atau tujoh kali; sa-kalt bacha sa-kali ayun, 
usap kémtnyan. Buatlima kali sa-hart sa-malam. Mém- 
buat-nya di-dalam suatu témpat tiada boleh orang masok 
atau tidor baring. 
Hikmat ini ktturunan dari Abdullah Hamid, tmsha'lah 
lérlalu mustajab. Ini-lah doa-nya :— 
Bismi'llahi ’r-Rahmani ’r-Rahimi ! 
_ Anak hélang sa-ekor lémpati hinggap ame tanjong ! 
Hati ptrut (si-anu) sudah ku-lamba:
