Rani Maini and Prince Gobind
Rani Maini and Prince Gobind
Fateh Chand was the landlord of Patna
He was commonly known as Raja
Maini was the wife of Fateh Chand
People of Patna called her Rani.
Fateh Chand and Maini had no issue
For all the years they had been through
One day Rani saw the Prince Gobind
Playing in the company of his child army
She had heard from people around that
Prince Gobind could read people's mind
She thought of feeding Prince and his friends
With tasty gram curry and fried crispy cakes
She immediately went to the kitchen and started
Preparing these dishes for these children
After preparing these mouth watering dishes
She sat outside in wait with hopeful wishes
In a short while the leader of the child army
Came in her courtyard with his hunger plea
Rani made Prince Gobind to sit in her lap
And maids lovingly served food to them
After enjoying that motherly bliss, Rani
Asked the Prince to come to her daily
This practice went on joyfully
for quite sometime regularly
One day Rani's maid asked the Prince
Bless our Rani to have a son like you
To this Prince uttered 'In this world
No one is like the other, so I'm her son
Rani Maini also accepted him as her son
Food practice continued till Prince left Patna
Even after his leaving for Punjab
Rani kept serving the child army
At this place now is Gurdwara Maini Sahib
And curry and cakes are served there daily
