Teanslation III. 
The mango trees have blossomed and the mahuwas dropped their 
flowers. By whom shall I send a message ? Ah! heartless one, leave thy 
service. 
O Bhikam Kayath, who dwellest behind my house, write hut one 
small letter; Ah ! heartless one &c. 
Of what shall I make the paper, of what the ink ? Ah ! heartless 
one &c. 
Tearing up my skirts, of them shall I make my paper, from the lamp¬ 
black in my eyelids the ink ; Ah ! heartless one &c. 
Round the edge write all the message, in the middle the separation 
for twelve months ; Ah ! heartless one &c. 
Wayfarer on the road thou art my brother ; take thou my message ; 
Ah ! heartless one &c. 
Tell thou my message to my husband, thy wife, mourning the 
separation, is disturbed; Ah ! heartless one &c. 
“ Thy husband I nor know nor recognize ; to whom shall I tell the 
message ?” Ah ! heartless one &c.
