He did not call her love or queen; he knew too well that she was
slipping away from such empty titles.
The old refrain. The first words surely he had heard from her lips.
But at least she still lived.
Gathering her in his arms he carried her to the divan; then knelt
supporting her on his breast. If she died she should die as a queen--
in the King's clasp--upon his throne.
"Âtma!"
The last word never came. In her effort to rise she overbalanced
and slipped in a huddled heap at Akbar's feet.
He stood quite still. He knew that she was dead; that nothing but
worthless clay lay there; the deathless spirit--the dreamer that never
dies--had fled--whitherward? His way, surely!
Such things might be for Jalâl-ud-din the man. He was the King.
She should take Love with her.
Outside the bugle notes were echoing each other merrily through
the camp. All things were astir with the dawn.
And he, the King was needed elsewhere. He called, and a servant
entered.
So he strode through the screen to the larger tent, and gave the
signal for the uprising of Majesty.
In a second the huge weighted curtains at the end had swung to
their high looped places, and advancing, he took his seat upon the
canopied dais behind them. On the far level horizon the pearl gray of
dawn was changing to primrose, darkening even as it changed to
rosy-red; for Dawn comes swiftly in the cloudless skies of India.
Before him, thronged with courtiers, circled the vast enclosure of the
Inner Audience, opening out into a wide avenue wherein, drawn up
on either side, stood soldiers in battalions. Their spear points struck
at the sky; for beyond was nothingness. Only a wide, empty plain
reaching up to a wide, empty sky.
ALLAH-HU AKBAR!
Yet there was one thing which must be done before the dawn, if
all was to be well, and Birbal looking somewhat crestfallen, stepped
forward at a signal from the throne; behind him came William
Leedes the jeweller.
The latter was saying "Ave-Mary's" under his breath, partly from
pure fear of evil, partly from thanksgiving for delivery from evil.
Then turning to the Englishman the royal voice became less stern.
"And you--who are without blame--take it once more to thy lathe.
Akbar's will hath not changed. His Luck shall shine. Aye! and his
empire shall shine--as he chooses; let subjects, princes, friend--yea--
even sons, say what they may!" Then changing gravity for
cheerfulness he called down the line of soldiery: "Gentlemen! make
ready for your march! Akbar goes forward! He leaves this Town of
many Tears and Lack of Water behind him for ever!"
As he spoke the curved edge of the sun showed like a star for a
second across the waste of desert that stretched as a sea before
him, and from behind, from the Darkness of the Tents, from the
Shadows of Man's Habitations, came the Procession of the Hours. In
rosy pink like Dawn-Clouds, the pair of little children, no longer
wide-eyed and solemn, danced at the head; and behind them,
radiant with smiles followed the choric singers each with an unlit
taper, singing the Song of the Dawn that has been sung in India
since the Dawn of Days.
As one, the twelve camphor candles flashed into white light, that
shone for a second, then grew pale and cold, as the sun, heaving his
mighty shoulder out of the dust haze that hung on the horizon,
flooded the wide earth with his shine.
He walked slowly, his head was bent, and on his right arm was
knotted a blue handkerchief.
"Whose?" queried Birbal quickly. He had been busy all night; had
heard nothing.
--Nizami.
Four years had passed away and the Dream in Red Sandstone still
waited for the Dreamer: waited, as it still waits, deserted but not
ruined, the Great Arch of Victory remaining as Birbal had prophesied,
that which no man having once seen, can ever forget.
But Birbal himself had passed into the unknown; almost into the
forgotten save for his master's undying affection which, even after
two years, still scanned the earthly horizon eagerly looking for news,
at any rate, of his lost friend; since Birbal's actual death is one of
those things of which neither past or present hold any knowledge.
He disappeared in the mountains of Swât whither he had gone in the
vain effort to translate one of Akbar's dreams into terms of reality.
For the Great Mogul, Emperor of India, had dreams of conquest,
not by sword, not even by religion, as his great forerunner the
Emperor Asoka had had in the years before Christ--but by common
sense; that is the voluntary submission of the individual to a
collective policy which makes for peace and prosperity to the mass
of the people.
Anyhow, the experiment, one after Akbar's own heart, was tried;
and Birbal went with the forces as a counterpoise to the old
Commander in Chief (he was the Wellington of Akbar's reign) and
his more antiquated methods of suasion. They drew lots, those two
friends of the King, Abulfazl and Birbal, which should take the
onerous post; and the lot fell on Birbal. It is said that the King
hesitated to let him go; but behind friendship lay Kingship.
But now, this 10th of May, 1590, he was pausing a little below the
top of the Pir Panjal Pass on the way to Kashmir, awaiting the arrival
of William Leedes, the English jeweller, who all these years had been
engaged in cutting the Great Diamond of India.
It was ready now, and Akbar was eager to see it. But the little
party escorting the jeweller and his charge had not arrived that
morning, so Akbar had come out alone to a favourite vantage point
below the actual snows, whence the whole Panjab plain rising an
almost incredible height in the sky, could be seen.
The land of the Five Rivers! A fair land indeed! A broad battle
shield to the rest of India.
"Lo! nephew! at times it takes me," said the old lady, nodding her
head sagely, "to leave the scapegrace--who hath, nathless been
behaving more reputably of late--out of the bargain altogether! The
boy is more like Jalâl-ud-din Mahomed Akbar than Salîm ever was,
and that is a fact! But"--seeing a frown come to Akbar's face--"I am
not here to fashion likeness, but because," here she drew her face
into a decent pucker of sorrow, "having been--God forgive me--Aye!
and Umm Kulsum too--part responsible for its theft--truly, nephew,
your old aunt feels ever about her neck the bowstring that should
have been drawn, and was not, thanks to----"
Akbar interrupted her with patient gloom. "We have talked this
out many times, oh! most reverend aunt. After all there was no
mischief done." He thought ever as he spoke of that Arch of Victory
standing deserted on the Sikri Ridge.
A few minutes later Akbar stood holding the diamond, half its
original size, but brilliant exceedingly in the hollow of his right hand.
Aye that was it! So many sides, thought Akbar, as, after
dismissing the jeweller and his escort for refreshment, he sate on
that pinnacle of rock almost overhanging the Panjab plain, and
looked at the Luck which he had had cut in Western fashion.
His fowling piece--for he had been on his way to one of his long
solitary rambles--lay beside him and on the polished steel of its lock
the brilliant sunshine glinted, sending reflected light to touch and
make visible the almost microscopic fruition of a tiny lichen on the
rock.
But how much more brilliant was the light that sparkled from the
diamond!
A hundred suns in one? No it was a hundred worlds--worlds
unseen till then.
What did he see? Did he see the Shield of India stand in the
forefront of battle for the principles he preached, as it did in Mutiny
time? Or did sight pass beyond that, and did he see the East,
intoxicated by the errors of the West, aping the horrors of a
civilisation which has missed its way, which has forgotten that
Socialism is Despotism--the Despotism of Fate whose eye is fixed,
not on the equality of the individual, but the ultimate outcome of
Race?
Who knows?
The wide shield of the Land of the Five Rivers went first. Bit by bit
the hurrying mists obscured it, the damascening disappeared until
high upon the sky only a clear blue curved rim remained--an arch of
victory that stretched over the visible world.
"Lo!" she exclaimed, "the King hath been delayed no doubt, but
high up where we were seeking rhubarb it was like the Day of
Resurrection to see the mists tear themselves to shreds in rage as
the Sun caught them. So goes Ignorance before Wisdom. And little
Fair-face hath found his granddad a nârgiz--present it, child, though
'tis late for a New Year offering. Lo! he is the spit of my father--on
whom be peace--no flower escapes him."
"And I have found violets for the King," smiled Umm Kulsum,
comfortably. She was more than ever a Mother of Plumpness in her
stuffed Mogul costume.
Akbar caught up the child with a sudden laugh, and setting him
astride his shoulders began the descent to the camp below.
F. A. Steel.
