% [maaye=(a folk address for) maaN]
% [ni=(same as) ri]
% [shikraa=a hunting bird found in Punjab, named 'ghulaab-chashm', usually
%  employed to hunt smaller birds]

% This last line may have the other layer of 'the shikraa bird flew over
% this nest on his hunting rounds'.

छित्ते दन्द जियोण धानोण बग्ला
तऱीआण मार उडाया
नी मेण वारि जाण
