kuchh hind hī meñ mīr nahīñ log jeb-chāk
hai mere reḳhtoñ kā divānah dakan tamām

1) not only/emphatically in Hind, Mir, are people collar-ripping--
2) it is mad for my rekhtahs, the whole Dakan!

SRF has quite understandably omitted this verse from SSA, but because of its obvious semantic interest I wanted to include it.

In this verse the pluralization makes it clear that Rekhtah is the name of a kind of poetry, not a language. For more on reḳhtah as a genre name, see {297,7}.
