1900.] W. Irvine — Jangnamah of FarniJchsniar and Jahandar Shnh. 39 
Issue from tlie armj, and sliouting urge tlieii.’ steeds ; 
680 How relate the twirling of their spears ! 
Behold on the other side, rare and undaunted, 
Advances raging the ruler of Dihli’s son ; 
On two sides stand the enemies like flower-beds, 
On two sides the armies stand looking. 
585 With king Fnrrukhsiyar are the governors of provinces, 
A wondrous crowd of allies jostled everywhere. 
Loudly resounded enlivening music, 
Everywhere spears thick as gathering clouds. 
As the field-pieces fired a great dust arose, 
590 There arose from tlie smoke great clouds and darkness. 
Flashes of light came where the rockets flew, 
It was as if the great vault of heaven had burst. 
They threw their missiles, doing harm every time, 
Armed men and gunners fii’ed many cannon, 
595 The heroes of both armies advanced, 
They dispelled and trode into dust the enemy’s array. 
Verily that army’s conceit deserted it. 
Taking the chief batteries they crowded in, 
‘Izzu-d-diu’s men began to quit the walls, 
600 Turned and fled on beholding those wrathful men. 
They abandoned horses, carriages, gold, elephants. 
No one collected aught of his belongings, 
Some left their horses, threw down their weapons. 
Some fled, taking the road in front of them. 
605 Some moaned “ha, ha,” some fell at the men’s feet. 
They w^ent creeping and crawling, as best they could, 
They ran out and fled, those miserable wretches. 
Many stood calling aloud the names of God. 
Many mighty men abated their pride, 
610 Valorously abandoned all they had. 
Leaving all they fled, forgot their strutting gait, 
Their star had set, their wits had fled : 
Everybody, servants, learned men, wrdting maids 
Calling “ Lord ! bestow on us some helper ” ! 
615 [Garo dhawaro jhanki jhibai surosai,] 
All piled on Mu‘izzu-d-din fitting curses. 
Some seized on money-bags with great glee, 
Everywhere the camp plunderers ran with torches. 
Lighted the thatches and the mighty tents ; 
620 Great fear spread, the smoke made a darkness.
