Its Abu Karim! Have you come? Sit here.
Why sat on a ‘carchief? Is my soil filthy?
No, don’t go that way
Under the shade of that lichee tree
A kingfisher girl resides alone
Her husband left her long ago
Where’s Shah Alam and Khoka?
And that girl” What’s her name?
Oh, Shefali!
Shall she not play hide and seek in this garden?
Has she become wife of somebody?
