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.
