Couplet 326-330


بعدِ سہ رہز و سہ شب حیراں و زار

After a period of three days and three nights,



بر دُکاں نبشستہ بُد نومیدوار


He was sitting in the shop dejected & perplexed

با ہزاران غصّہ و غم گشتہ جُفت

Indulged in thousands of grief and pain



کاے عجب ایں مرغ کے آید نگفت


Wondering! When the parrot starts talking?

می نمود آں مرغ را ہر گو شگفت

Showing different kind of unique things to it



وز تعجّب لبْ بدنداں می گرفت



And biting his lips anxiously, when it didn’t talk

و مبدم می گفت با اُو ہر سُخن

He used to do various type of talks with parrot



تاکہ باشد کانذر آید در سُخن


In anticipation if it starts talking

بر اُمیدِ آنکہ مرغ آید بگفت

In expectation of its talking,



چشم اُو را با صورمی کرد جُفت


He was showing various kinds of photos to it



                 Three days and nights had been passed, the perfume seller was sitting in his shop in a anxious, troubled & perplexed manner and sadly thinking as to when this parrot starts speaking. He had shown the parrot different kind of things but the parrot was not speaking and he kept biting his lips in trouble. He also tried to talk to the parrot different type of things thinking that the parrot might speak and hence showing it different kind of pictures etc.
