...what are the signs of Baghdad town,  roads of worries   hurt bodies and minds to shreds like  a tailor does to his cuttings
From that haveli  gamo  got grains,  from them  his family lived  and the fire of hunger was satiated,   , to show his gratitude all he could do was carry water for them,  , though there was a handpump   in the  vicinity of the haveli,   and  a  private  well  in the back yard , nobody had asked him to get water to the haveli,  but gamo went to the haveli  regularly and  drew water from there  and sprinkled  the vicinity  thoroughly,  doing his work he constantly recited  haqq bahu s  versus,  , many a times  the chaudhary made him  sit down beside him  to hear him recite  specially to  him,  the day he recited for Karamazov chaudhary  gamo  was  weighed down with  grains, the chaudhary always  sent him   surrounded with gifts,  the haveli doors were open for the village  mashqi the insignificant water carrier,  his  position and status was acknowledged  for his sincere work 
Inside  the chaudhary was getting ready  to leave  for a meeting  when  he heard  gamo singing  , the meaningful lines  were soulful,  his  chaudhrain wife had recently died and since then he was a completely changed man Inside out, gamo s  spiritual singing  touched his heart,  he stood before the mirror wiping his eyes, he drued his face before wearing his official headgear  and ordered a servant to give  gamo grains and extra buttermilk
