This is called the charm of the duyong :— 
Wave a kerchief towards the setting sun and recite 
thrice— 
In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassion- 
ate! 
Prayer of mine! Prayer of the duyong! 
I use the duyong charm and mountains fall, 
Timber chips, fire is quenched, water recedes, 
And the brains of my beloved melt ; 
By virtue of my charm. 
Only if she forgets her jacket and skirt, 
Will she forget me; ane 
If she forgets her comb and her oil, 
Her mat whereon she sleeps, mee food and drink, 
If she forgets God and Muham 
Only then will she forget me; 
By virtue of the charm I use 
I use it and her brains, enlf lungs melt. 
God fulfil my prayer! 
: Muhammad Apostle of God fulfil it! 
I use my charm against my beloved. -
