40 W. Irvine — Jangnamali of FarruMszyar and Jalidnddr Bhdh. [No. 1, 
Here from tlie liot flames red light broke forth, 
Elsewhere tlie heroes of the bazar stole the money bags, 
There the bambu knots split with a spluttering sound. 
Crashing and snapping, the heavy thatches crackled. 
625 They plundered saffron, wine, spirits, dried dates. 
They took all the bags of walnuts and musk. 
At places pearls were burnt into powder and dust, 
Eveiy where squatted plunders tying huge bundles. 
Pickles, powders, and cironji nuts were burnt, 
630 Elsewhere jujube fruit, tubers, and fever-nuts. 
They burnt or took clothes and turbans of gold brocade, 
There lay about many bundles, women were robbed. 
The jeweller’s bags were carried off. 
The jewellers dispersed, their bundles lay scattered, 
635 Crow’ds of traders cried, “ Alas ! we are undone,” 
Numerous lovely women fled, their faces veiled. 
Hohara (637-656). 
Know then that thus fled ‘Izzu-d-din and all his men. 
Listen to ^ridhar, the poet, as he tells the whole story. 
Imtiyaz Khan reported, bringing a good gift for his lord, 
640 “ My Lord ! may this victory be of good fortune to the king 
of kings ! 
“ They sent Khan Hauran as chief, one fit for any enterprize, 
“ Nam^eri Khan, his son, was sent with the vanguard to 
ba.ttle. 
“ ‘Abdu-s-samad lOian, Raje Khan, the noble, 
“Lutfullah lOian, Sadiq, Dildiler Khan, the brave, 
645 “ Such were the nobles trusted by Mu‘izzu-d-din, 
“ Against your Majesty’s good fortune they could not stand 
in battle ; 
“ From ‘Izzu-d-din’s harshness all went wrong, 
“ They came to eat^aw, they threw away hand and foot, 
“ Elephants, horses, camels, ox-carriages large and small, litters, 
650 “ Cannon, kettle-drums, swivel-pieces, camel-guns, elephant- 
guns, 
“ Gold coins, jewels uncounted, in heaps strewn everywhere, 
“ The vacant enclosure stands, surrounded by bags.” 
There stood Mumtaz IDian; His Majesty called him near, 
The king of kings gave order — “ Go you now and see, 
655 ‘‘ Take the war elephants, trumpets, cannon and drums, 
“ All the rest of the plunder leave with whoever took it.”
