The arroy followed the hero and noble, the Sayyid Wazir, as 
he did this, 
890 Entirely filled with the joy of battle, he made the first ven- 
ture into the battle-field. 
Then the heroes mounted and stood, all the horsemen followed 
and stood, 
Whei^ever troops were needed, thither they were despatched, 
All the groups advanced, the king’s camp was filled like a river, 
The sun hastened, the tortoise trembled, the snake-king lost 
his strength.

Followed by the steel-clad heroes. 
Death-dealing and death-receiving warriors. 
The Sayyid was followed by all the death-dealing warriors, 
full of efforts, 
900 On the king’s order they drew their swords, shouted, “ Strike, 
Strike,” roared hoarsely,

their horses into the battle, 
The big drums of ‘Abdullah Khan, the Sayyid, boomed deep 
and loud to the south.

in crowds, 
910 Thus with ‘Abdullah IQian advanced the hero Muhammad 
Khan, the Banga^.
