Barya chhamaya di pheri j 
Bedan hundi teri; 
A'l mili-ja, bo. 
Muiye bo, Phulamuw. 
Kangrd. 
My dear, I have beard 
They have married you off, dear : 
My love, 0 what have they done P 
Come to me, Phulamuw. 
There is the return after the year and the six months: 
My love is for you: 
Come and meet me, my dear, 
Come to me, Phulamuw. 
Notes. 
The custom in the Panjab is for the bride to return home to her 
parents awhile, after she has been married six months, and again after a 
year. The lover here reminds Phulamiiw (a common hill name for girls) 
of this custom, and says it is nothing to him that they have married her 
to another, if she will come to him when she comes home again.
