Note 1589 — SECTION III. HINDŪSTĀN
Annette Susannah Beveridge translation
In view of the interest of the passage, and because this verse is not in the Rāmpūr Dīwān, as are many contained in the Hindūstān section, the Turkī original is quoted. My translation differs from those of Mr. Erskine and M. de Courteille; all three are tentative of a somewhat difficult verse.
Nī qīlā mīn sīnīng bīla āī tīl? Jihatīng dīn mīnīng aīchīm qān dūr. Nīcha yakhshī dīsāng bū hazl aīla shi‘r Bīrī-sī faḥash ū bīrī yālghān dūr. Gar dīsāng kūīmā mīn, bū jazm bīla Jalāu’īngnī bū ‘arṣa dīn yān dūr.
