TRANSLATION.

Peeloh ascended the Hills of Gundgurh

Was wrapped in deepest thought.

Before him was the Indus,

Behind him the Haro.

The plains of Chach like a sea are there

Where to plant ’tis sure to sprout,

But to sow your field in the soil of Dhunnie

You may well sit by its side and weep.

Another of their poets, a Pathan, and a man of “Huzro,” beholding

Cashmere from the Mountains and the vale of the country stretched out

before him, burst, it is said, into the following stanzas:

Kashmere to ajub ja hai

Juthay âp Khudâ râza hai

Kea kishtee! kea howa hai

Yek seir hai Huzrut “Bul” key

Vo tâkht-l-Suleemâni

Kashmere ka thanda pâni.
