Couplet 207-210


دوستانِ شہرِ خود را بر شُمرد

(first) she counted the names of her friends of her town



بعد ازاں شہرِ دگر را نام بُرد


Then told about the other towns

گفت چوں بیروں شدی از شہرِ خویش

(doctor said) when you left your city,



در کدا میں شہر بودستی تو بیش


Where were you lived most

نامِ شہرے گفت و زاں ہم در گذشت

She uttered a name and moved on



رنگِ رُو و نبضِ اُو دیگر نہ گشت


Colour of face and movement of pulse didn’t change

خواجگان و شہر ہا را یک بیک

She told about masters and the cities



باز گفت از جای و از نام و نمک


One by one and discussed about food


                     First she spoke about her city and those known to her there, then the doctor asked her where was she lived for quite some time after leaving her city. She told about one city and then another, but expression on her face did not change and neither the movement of pulse. Thus one after the another she spoke about all the cities, places, masters and foods, but the movement of pulse and expression on her face remain unchanged.
