Now in the princess's household there was a girl called Dil-aram ; she it was who had first seen the image of the prince. She came to love him very much, and she spent day and night thinking how she could make her affection known to him. One day she escaped from the princess's notice and went to the prince, and laid her head on his feet and said: 'Heaven has bestowed on you beauty and charm.
If you would like this woman killed, I will put poison into her cup so that she will never lift her head from her drugged sleep again. 'O Dil-aram! such a vengeance is not manly. I shall not rest till I have gone to Waq of the Caucasus and have cleared up the matter. Then they repeated the agreement about their marriage, and bade one another goodbye.
When all was ready, Prince Almās set out for home, taking with him Jamīla, and Dil-arām and Gul, daughter of Taram-tāq, and the wicked Mihr-afrūz, and all the belongings of the four, packed on horses and camels, and in carts without number. As he approached the borders of his father's country word of his coming went before him, and all the city came forth to give him welcome.
He fled here from Waq of the Caucasus it is there you must make inquiry; there is no other way of getting at the truth.'On hearing these words, the prince said to his heart, 'O my heart! your task will yet wear away much of your life. He fell into long and far thought, and Dil-aram looked at him and said: 'O my life and my soul! do not be sad.

The prince gave ear to the argument from pre-ordainment, and as she was a very lovely maiden he took her too in lawful marriage. She and Jamila, set up house together, and Dil-aram and Gul set up theirs; and the prince passed the rest of his life with the four in perfect happiness, and in pleasant and sociable entertainment. Now has been told what the rose did to the cypress.
He said to himself, 'God forbid that the veil should be taken in vain from my secret; that would indeed disgrace me. So, with streaming eyes and burning breast, Dil-arām arose and went to her house and lamented and fretted. Now whenever the princess commanded the prince's attendance, Dil-arām, of all the girls, paid him attention and waited on him best.
The princess noticed this, and said: 'O Dil-aram! you must take my madman into your charge and give him whatever he wants. This was the very thing Dilaram had prayed for. A little later she took the prince into a private place and she made him take an oath of secrecy, and she herself took one and swore, 'By Heaven! I will not tell your secret.

'O wealth of my life and source of my joy! responded Dil-arām, 'I do not know what the rose did to the cypress; but so much I know that the person who told Mihr-afrūz about it is a negro whom she hides under her throne.
