Sidangkan gaja putih 
Gaja biting sabrang laut 
Songsang bulu songsang gading 
Songsang bulef songsang k&ki 
Songsang tangan songsang urat 
Songsang daging songsang dara 
Tundo mmiumba kilingking kaki kirfku, 
Mima aku terkilang turun dipanjuru lawang 
Ana ngang diujong bulo 
Aku jolo dangan timiang 
Matahari terkildk diktning aku 
Simut periling dibibir aku 
Chuchfi Allah chuchd Mahamad 
Chucha baginda rasul Allah. (6 ) 
(6) INVOCATION FOR ABASING. 
Siluso padang silasa. 
Throw a sulaseh branch. 
May the heart that is angry be shut. 
May the heart that is kind be opened. 
Aj£ dche dcha. 
A young lalang springs up in the moist ground. 
I am wicked, I am applauded. 
I do wrong, I am reverenced. 
Why say amongst mankind. 
Two footed, five toed, 
Whilst even the white elephant, 
The streaked elephant beyond the sea. 
Reverses its hair, reverses its tusks, 
Reverses its trunk, reverses its feet, 
Reverses its front legs, reverses its veins, 
Reverses its flesh, reverses its blood. 
Bows down reverentially to the little toe of my left foot.* 
My oil pressed out runs down at the side of the door^
