Of the second song--

_Wan piâ lelkarâ: wan pî tû.

Chal dhamkiriâ! Dham! Kâ! Dhû!_

These the rhymes render exactly. The words _dham_, _kâ_,

_dhû_ are pronounced sharply, so as to imitate the beats on a

drum.

_Drumikin_.--The _dhamkîriâ_ or _dhamkirî_ in Panjâbî is

a small drum made by stretching leather across a wide-mouthed earthen cup

(_piyâlâ_). The Jatts make it of a piece of hollow wood, 6 inches

by 3 inches, with its ends covered with leather.
