Couplet 54


بود شاہے در زمانے پیش ازیں
There were a king a long time ago



ملک دنیا بودش وہم ملک دیں
(who is ruling) both the worldly as well as spiritually


          This is the start of the story titled "A king and the handmaiden". There were a king in the previous era as پیش ازیں means the previous nations.  He was a king having worldly favours, but he was also a good mannered spiritually.
