TO SIR AKBAR HYDARI PRIME MINISTER
OF HYDERABAD DECCAN
On Receiving a Cheque of Rs. 1909/- from the
Privy Purse of his Exalted Highness, the Nizam of Deccan as a token of goodwill.
It was Gods order that grandeur
of kings,
Give to a Hermit who holds the kings wings.
He bade me, "take reins and rule like kings,
With wits beauty show them, the lasting springs."
I was ready to lift His Trust on Wings,
Each bitter in my palate turns sweet things.
My faqrs envy but took not this role,
When he said it was His Godships dole.
