So she said again, 'Shibli Bagarag. And the bird answered, imitating its best, 'Shibberacavarack. Noorna was wroth with it, crying, 'Oh naughty bird! is the name of my beloved hateful to thee? And she chid Koorookh angrily, he with a heavy eye sulking, and keeping the sullen feathers close upon his poll.
She advanced up the blade, coming nearer and nearer; and he thought her close, and breathed quick and ceased looking through the glass. When he gazed abroad, lo! she was with Koorookh, on a far hill beyond the stream in outer Aklis. So he said to the Princess Gulrevaz, 'O Princess, comes she not to me here in the palace?

So she said again, 'Shibli Bagarag. And the bird answered, imitating its best, 'Shibberacavarack. Noorna was wroth with it, crying, 'Oh naughty bird! is the name of my beloved hateful to thee?

And she said to Abarak, 'He hath dreamed many dreams, my betrothed, but never one so sweet as that I give him.
Noorna was on the mountain in outer Aklis with Koorookh, waiting for the appearance of her betrothed, Sword in hand. She saw beams from the blazing eye of Aklis, and knew by the redness of it that one, a mortal, was peering on the earth and certain of created things.
