34 W. Irvine — Jangnainah of Farrukhsiyar and Jahandar Shall, [N"o. 1, 
Many lay on the ground writhing, many wandered wounded, 
Many were like to faint from fear, and died without being 
struck. 
The leader, ‘ Abdu-l-ghaffar’s, body was covered with wounds. 
In the battle-field he knew not where nor how to hold his 
footing. 
115 Then the army made off, the scamps rob the money bags. 
He whose foot had no shoes was exalted on horseback ; 
Rushed the famous one, shouting the king’s name, threatens 
with thumps. 
Wherever he goes the hero bears the decree of victory. 
When Mirza Manzur told all the story to Qutbu-l-mulk, 
120 The drums beat wdth long throbs, delight blossomed in his 
breast, 
Hearing of Siraju-d-din ‘Ali lean’s fate, he fell into a rr^ge. 
His eyes stared, he twisted his moustache, his teeth bit his lips. 
Then spoke ‘Abdullali Khan, “ Now Avill I fight a great fight, 
“ To cut to pieces the Avhole western army I draw my dagger, 
125 “As many leaders as are come, their souls shall paj^ the 
penalty, 
“None shall be let go till I am revenged for Siraju-d-din ‘ AH 
Khan ; 
“ In a battle-field like Kurukhet, I will raise a contest of 
swords, 
“By strength of arm when I and my kindred have been 
AYOunded unto death, 
“ Then may I be stjded a faithfr.1 folloAver of Farrukhsiyar.” 
[Line 130 is wanting. (Lines 131-138) The Sayyid’s brothers 
return to Allah.abM ; they and their commanders are com- 
mended and rewarded.] 
139 Next day Qutbu-l-Mulk called for Sahib Rae, and said, 
140 “ Write to the king of kings the news, telling the whole story ; 
“ Yfrite to brother Husain ‘AH Khan, instructing him of all, 
“ Wherever he is, let him hurry here, gathering a sufficient 
army.” 
Sahib Rae, the Mathur, heard and wrote there and then a 
letter, 
Told of the battle array, all things as they happened — how, 
Avhere, and Avhen, 
145 The repulse of the Avestern force, the advance of the nobles ; 
Again he wrote to Husain ‘AH Khan the whole story. 
[The contents of the letter are then given (lines 146-158).]
