The next day, King(Raja) Dahir held a palace in a spacious room in the palace of Brahmanabad.
His minister had also reached Brahmanabad from Arwar, the capital of Sindh.
The minister, commander and the nobles of Brahmanabad, according to their rank, were resplendent on the chairs near the throne.
The third chair after the minister and the commander, on which the Governor of Brahmanabad used to sit. It was now given to the Governor of Debil, and the Governor of Brahmanabad, being a few leagues distant from the King(Raja), felt that nature had placed mountains between him and the King(Raja). Bheem Singh was seated on the fifth chair to the left of the King(Raja). The rest of the nobles were sitting in the second row on the left side, fifteen officials were standing in two rows on the right and left behind the chairs. A beautiful and beautiful girl was standing behind the King(Raja) with jug and drink.
The court poet recited a few poems in praise of the king in a melancholic voice.
After that, the song and dance party was heated for some time.
The King(Raja) drank a few sips of wine and ordered the prisoners to appear.
The soldiers brought Zubair to palace.
After a while Jairam entered.
Like Zubair, he did not have chains on his hands and feet, but the guard of bare swords in front of him was enough to convince Zubair that his condition was no different.
King(Raja) looked at Pratap Rai.
Does it know our language?
He got up and replied,
"Yes sir!He seems very clever in learning foreign languages"...
King(Raja) looked at Zubair and asked what is your name?
"Zubair!"
He replied.
We heard that you were very anxious to talk to us,said the King(Raja).
Say what you want to say?
I want to ask why our ships were robbed at the port of Dabil and why we are being treated like prisoners and treated with this brutality.
King(Raja) replied a little nervously,
"Young man!"
We've heard before that Arabs don't have the manners to talk, but you should be smart for yourself and your colleagues?
Zubair said that the treatment that has been done to us, if you are not aware of it, then this is another matter.
Otherwise, the fact that the governor of Dabil laid hands on us without any reason.
If you have any misunderstanding about us, we are ready to remove it, but if this step has been taken by Sindh with the intention of testing our honor,we assure Sindh that we The untouchables of India whose cries cannot come out of their throats.
Till date no one has dared to treat us like this and I do not consider the empire of Sindh as an empire that can withstand the blows of the armor of Iran and the self-cutting swords of Rome.The people who consider it their duty to help every oppressed person on the face of the earth.
She will not sit silent on the disrespect of her daughters-in-law.
King(Raja) turned to the minister and said, "Listen, a prisoner is declaring war against us?"
The minister replied, Your Majesty!
These Arabs are very talkative. The conquests of Iran and Rome have made them proud, but they have not had contact with the lions of Sindh.
Zubair replied "We have not seen the bravery of lions in Dabil, we have seen the cunning of foxes".
After these words of Zubair, all the courtiers started looking at each other. Sensing the delicacy of the occasion,
Oudhe Singh got up and folded his hands and said.
Your Majesty!After being in prison for a few days,this young man has lost his senses and you also know that the soldier whose sword is dull.His tongue is very sharp."
Zubair, in a state of anger,could not understand the meaning of Oudhe Singh's friendly intervention and said that I have been stabbed from behind,otherwise you would not have had this opinion about my sword.
Pratap Rai got up and said,
"Majesty!
He is lying.
We arrested him in a fight?"
Zubair said in a voice shaking with anger and contempt,
"Coward!
You are the most degraded example of humanity."
My hands and feet are tied, but despite this, the signs of fear and terror are visible on your face.
Seeing a fox and a lion in a cage is a bad feeling.
Open only one of my hands and give me my sword.Then all of them will know the truth of my claim and yours.
Pratap Rai was looking at the audience with tearful eyes.
The Governor of Brahmanabad was considering Zubair's arrival as unsupportable. He got up and broke the silence of the court and said,
"Your Highness, it is an insult that a mere Arab should reproach me in the court with Chief Pratap Rai for cowardice."
You allow Chief Pratap Rai to disprove his claim.
Oudhe Singh had no less hatred for Pratap Rai,but he thought it more important to save Jairam from the King(Raja)s reproach, and to save him, he had in mind that Jairam should confront Zubair and clear the King(Raja)'s suspicions.
That he is a friend of the Arabs.
He got up and said, King(Raja)!
The idea of the ruler of Burhamnabad is not correct.Chief Partap Rai rank is not such that he can compete with a common Arab, it is an insult to him.We have thousands of young people to fulfill this young man's wish.
If the is not displeased, you should give Jairam a chance to prove that he is not a friend of the Arabs.
The King(Raja) replied,
You have recommended Jairam several times but his words show that he is much infatuated with the Arabs.
Why Jairam!
Are you ready to prove your loyalty?"
Jairam said in a genial manner.
Your Majesty!
I can jump into the fire at your behest, but Zubair is my guest and I cannot raise my sword against him."
Once again there was silence in the court. Oudhe Singh looked at Jairam with relief in his heart.
King(Raja) shouted, "Take this donkey away from me."
Blacken his mouth and lock him in a cage and make him walk in the streets of the city. Tomorrow he will be thrown in front of a masted elephant.
Oudhe Singh, you embarrassed us in front of this Arab, and you are angry!
Why are you sitting silent You have humiliated him in Dabil.
Now why doesn't your sword come out?
Why did you all smell a snake?
Young Bheem Singh got up and drew his sword and said,
King (Raja)?
Allow me to see Bheem Singh's courtiers drew their swords.
At last, Pratap Ray took out his sword but his eyes were telling King (Raja).
"These giver!"
Have mercy on my plight.
Seeing the courtiers waiting for the King (Raja)'s signal, Zubair said with a scornful smile on his lips.
Just let go now!
I am sure that your courtiers do not like to be called cowards when they see their rivals chained,but nature does not always present lions chained before foxes.
Bheem Singh said,
"King (Raja)'!
"Loosen his shackles.I will tell him now who is the lion and who is the fox."
