( DO NOT FALL IN LOVE WITH THEM, MUSHAFI, TAKE CARE,
  DAMSELS OF DELHI ARE TERROR AND A SCARE )

( THOSE WHO HELD THE THRONE AND SCEPTRE ONLY YESTERDAY
  ARE OBLIGED TO BEG FOR ALMS IN DELHI LANES TO-DAY )

( TOO EARLY TO COMPLAIN ABOUT YOUR BLISTERED FEET,
  DELHI IS YET FAR AWAY, HOLD A WHILE, O MEER )
