ਸਾਹੁ ਤ੍ਰਿਯਾ ਕੀ ਖਾਟ ਪਰ ਇਕ ਦਿਨ ਤਾਹਿ ਸਵਾਇ ॥

Saahu Triyaa Kee Khaatta Par Eika Din Taahi Savaaei ॥

ਸਾਹੁ ਤ੍ਰਿਯਾ ਸੋ ਅਗਮਨੈ ਕਹਿਯੋ ਬਚਨ ਸੌ ਜਾਇ ॥੩॥

Saahu Triyaa So Agamani Kahiyo Bachan Sou Jaaei ॥3॥

Before she put Sayeed in the bed belonging to the trader’s wife, the maid had gone to the trader’s wife and told,

ਚਲੋ ਅਬੈ ਉਠਿ ਤੁਮ ਤਹਾ ਬਾਤ ਸ੍ਰਵਨ ਧਰਿ ਮੋਹਿ ॥੪॥

Chalo Abai Autthi Tuma Tahaa Baata Sarvan Dhari Mohi ॥4॥

‘The Raja, imbued in your love, is waiting. Please go quick to the house where fire is visible.’(3)

ਨ੍ਰਿਪ ਠਾਂਢੋ ਹੇਰੈ ਤੁਮੈ ਤੁਮਰੇ ਅਤਿ ਹਿਤ ਪਾਗਿ ॥

Nripa Tthaandho Herai Tumai Tumare Ati Hita Paagi ॥

ਬੇਗਿ ਚਲੋ ਉਠਿ ਤਹਾ ਤੁਮ ਜਹਾ ਬਰਤੁ ਹੈ ਆਗਿ ॥੫॥

Begi Chalo Autthi Tahaa Tuma Jahaa Bartu Hai Aagi ॥5॥

Making sure, the maid, then, ran and approached the Raja, led him to

ਸੁਨਤ ਬਚਨ ਤ੍ਰਿਯ ਤਹ ਚਲੀ ਕਹਿਯੋ ਨ੍ਰਿਪਤਿ ਸੋ ਧਾਇ ॥

Sunata Bachan Triya Taha Chalee Kahiyo Nripati So Dhaaei ॥

The place where the Sayeed was lying down and said, ‘Here, your

ਸੋਇ ਯਾਰ ਤੁਮਰੀ ਰਹੀ ਗਹੋ ਚਰਨ ਦੋਊ ਜਾਇ ॥੬॥

Soei Yaara Tumaree Rahee Gaho Charn Doaoo Jaaei ॥6॥

Beloved is lying down. Go and hold her by her feet.’(6)

ਆਪੁ ਅਗਮਨੇ ਦੌਰਿ ਕੈ ਸੈਯਦਹਿ ਕਹਿਯੋ ਸੁਨਾਇ ॥

Aapu Agamane Douri Kai Saiyadahi Kahiyo Sunaaei ॥

Previously she (the maid) had already warned the Sayeed and told him

ਗਹਿ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾਨ ਜਾਗਤ ਰਹੋ ਜਿਨਿ ਨ ਗਹੈ ਕੋਊ ਆਇ ॥੭॥

Gahi Kripaan Jaagata Raho Jini Na Gahai Koaoo Aaei ॥7॥

To remain alert, with a sword beside him, in case some one walked in.(7)

ਚੋਰ ਜਰਾਵਤ ਆਗਿ ਜਹ ਤਹ ਤ੍ਰਿਯ ਪਹੁਚੀ ਜਾਇ ॥

Chora Jaraavata Aagi Jaha Taha Triya Pahuchee Jaaei ॥

On the other side, the place where thieves were sitting with fire on, the trader’s wife came.

ਲੂਟਿ ਕੂਟਿ ਤਾ ਕੌ ਦਿਯੋ ਗਹਿਰੇ ਗੜੇ ਦਬਾਇ ॥੮॥

Lootti Kootti Taa Kou Diyo Gahire Garhe Dabaaei ॥8॥

They (the thieves) plundered and killed her and buried her body in a ditch.(8)
