_Agar firdûs ba rû-e-zamîn ast,
Hamîn ast o hamîn ast o hamîn ast!_
If there be an Elysium on the face of the earth,
It is here, and it is here, and it is here!
Shâh Jahân built the Shâlimâr gardens at Lahor, in imitation of those

_Gangâbal_.--A holy lake on the top of Mount Harâmukh, 16,905 feet,
in the north of Kashmîr. It is one of the sources of the Jhelam River,
and the scene of an annual fair about 20th August.
_Khichrî_.--Sweet khichrî consists of rice, sugar, cocoa-nut,
raisins, cardamoms, and aniseed; salt khichrî of pulse and rice.
_The stone in the ashes_.--The _pâras_, in Sanskrit
_sparsamani_, the stone that turns what it touches into gold.
_Attock_.--In the original it is the Atak River (the Indus) near
Hoti Mardân, which place is near Atak or Attock. The similarity in
the names 'Ali Mardan and Hotî Mardân probably gave rise to this
statement. They have no connection whatever.
