Harigifc (71-170). 
This side halted at Alam Cand, that side encamped at Kohun, 
On both sides when daj broke both lords of battle beat their 
drums, 
As these mounted, those advanced, full of zeal both seized 
their reins. 
The whole army was in agitation, and the court beloved of the 
sun ; 
75 When the armies came in sight, they both cocked their guns, 
Muskets, swivel-guns, elephant-pieces sounded loud as thunder, 
Then lightening gleamed and glistened as the swords left their 
scabbards, 
It began like heavy rain of sorts, in the melee blood ran in 
streams, 
Urged on with unceasing cries, the brave warriors galloped, 
both armies rushed, 
80 Seizing their swords, jumping and springing, they delivered 
blows. 
One moment down, then up again, and the next moment on 
without flinching, 
For six hours, in confusion, the heroes braved the clouds and 
streams of war. 
[The. Sayyids fight on (83-98) till Siraju-d-din ‘All Khan is 
killed]. 
99 Having made firm his heart, the Barhah boy, 
100 Sayyid Siraju-d-din ‘Ali Kian, received his martyr’s crown. 
Joyous from the Huri’s hand he drank the full cup of love. 
He did his duty loyally, bestowed lustre on the illustrious 
army. 
Thus noise arose on every side, all the leaders rushed. 
Advancing they threw down buckler, cast off head-pieces, tore 
their shirts of mail, 
105 Quitted breast-plate, broke their scabbards, laid hand on 
dagger, 
Lances glittered everywhere, the sword blows fell many and 
thick. 
Meanwhile men ran from all sides, surrounded the whole army, 
There arrow, spear, rocket, bullet, reddened body after body. 
Swords shone and glittered, daggers wounded with a “ kar- 
kar,” 
110 Tossed to and fro the crowd struggled, the chiefs of the army 
stood fast.
