W. Hoey —Set Mahet . 
21 . 
All green the garments were lie wore 
From Kabul or Qandhar : 
One lakh and thousands thirty-six 
Of Saiyads went to war. 
Their tents went first, their cannons next, 
And elephants in rear : 
Full many days they marched ; at last 
They drew to Hind Mulk near. 
22 . 
The Gabar* king the tidings hears 
How Gajan’s tents are near, 
How flags and banners court the breeze 
And lines of shops appear : 
A sight is his Urdu bazar :f 
The people come and go, 
And sweets are piled and bakers squat 
And at their ovens blow. 
23. 
Vendors of grain and spices here 
And money changers sit, 
And on the sutler’s hostel hearth]: 
The cheery fire is lit: 
Greengrocers vegetables bring 
Upon the ground to spread : 
The goldsmiths’ deftly work with gold 
And pearls for earrings thread. 
24. 
And guriyas§ from river beds 
Have gourds and melons brought, 
And dMmars§ offer fish for sale 
In running rivers caught : 
And who’s kotwal to hear complaints ? 
‘ Tis Nirmal Parihar. 
Thus well arranged and busy is 
Gajans Urdu bazar.
