Suhni was confronted with the deep eddies, the dark night, and the hissing cobras. Besides the river was in tumultuous spate and its both banks resounded with frightful din. In addition Suhni had to face the dangers from the chilly stream in the course of her journey to Mehar on the opposite bank. (under these depressing conditions) it was only the sound emitted by the big tinkling bells, which guided her and impelled her onward.

The sea with such a storm as his base head. In hell block night endured, would have buoyed up, and quenched the stalled fires.
(Shakespear - King Lear)

Dark night, deep whirlpools, hissing cobra snakes,
Threating noise come from both river banks;
On way to Sahar hard and harsh waves strike,
Tinkling of bells is her guide in
mid-stream.

Whirlpools are dark, so is night,
Sound of waves is like hissing of cobras,
Both the banks of full-flowing wild,
Mehran are giving out frightful threats,
Swimming towards Sahar wild cold waves tossed her around,
The sound of bells, however, guided her in midstream.
