So lay thy proud demeanour by

And sit beneath yon banyan tree

And share a narghili with me,

Or hubble-bubble murmuring

With Koot Nerbudda Chundra Singh.

Maid of Ganges! thou dost lave

Thy houri form in Jumna’s wave;

Thou dost waste thy sunny smiles

On the sacred crocodiles,

As beneath thine eyes they bask
