Ay thou has found thy kingdom Yasin Khan	A
Thy fathers' pomp and power are thine at last	B
No more the rugged roads of Khorasan	A
The scanty food and tentage of the past	B
	-
Wouldst thou make war thy followers know no fear	C
Where shouldst thou lead them but to victory	D
Wouldst thou have love thy soft eyed slaves draw near	C
Eager to drain thy strength away from thee	D
	-
My thoughts drag backwards to forgotten days	E
To scenes etched deeply on my heart by pain	A
The thirsty marches ambuscades and frays	E
The hostile hills the burnt and barren plain	A
	-
Hast thou forgotten how one night was spent	F
Crouched in a camel's carcase by the road	G
Along which Akbar's soldiers scouting went	F
And he himself all unsuspecting rode	G
	-
Did we not waken one despairing dawn	A
Attacked in front cut off in rear by snow	A
Till like a tiger leaping on a fawn	A
Half of the hill crashed down upon the foe	A
	-
Once as thou mournd'st thy lifeless brother's fate	H
The red tears falling from thy shattered wrist	I
A spent Waziri forceful still in hate	H
Covered they heart ten paces off and missed	I
	-
Ahi men thrust a worn and dinted sword	J
Into a velvet scabbarded repose	E
The gilded pageants that salute thee Lord	J
Cover one sorrow rusted heart God knows	E
	-
Ah to exchange this wealth of idle days	E
For one cold reckless night of Khorasan	A
To crouch once more before the camp fire blaze	E
That lit the lonely eyes of Yasin Khan	A
	-
To watch the starlight glitter on the snows	E
The plain stretched round us like a waveless sea	E
Waiting until thy weary lids should close	E
To slip my furs and spread them over thee	E
	-
How the wind howled about the lonely pass	E
While the faint snow shine of that plateaued space	E
Lit where it lay upon the frozen grass	E
The mournful tragic beauty of thy face	E
	-
Thou hast enough caressed the scented hair	K
Of these soft breasted girls who waste thee so	A
Hast thou not sons for every adult year	C
Let us arise O Yasin Khan and go	A
	-
Let us escape from these prison bars	E
To gain the freedom of an open sky	L
Thy soul and mine alone beneath the stars	E
Intriguing danger as in days gone by	L
	-
Nay there is no returning Yasin Khan	A
The white peaks ward the passes as of yore	M
The wind sweeps o'er the wastes of Khorasan	A
But thou and I go thitherward no more	M
	-
Close ah too close the bitter knowledge clings	E
We may not follow where my fancies yearn	A
The years go hence and wild and lovely things	E
Their own go with them never to return	A
