ABSTRACT
Kaidrúsh led on ; Sikandar, Put trust in him. The chieftains spurred like fire, And reached a mountain where the rocks were crystal. Upon it there were fruit-trees of all sorts, And on the top they noticed grass in plenty. They left this mountain and kept speeding on Toward the country where Kaidáfa dwelt, Who eagerly heard tidings of Kaidrúsh, And went to meet him with a mighty host, All men of name and favoured by the stars. He, when he saw his mother, lighted down, And did obeisance, but she bade him mount. They rode, hand clasped in hand. Kaidrúsh described All that he had gone through and paled in telling His troubles in the city of Faryán, Where he had lost crown, army, throne, and treasure. The man that cometh with me," he proceeded,
" Preserved me and my consort from Sikandar, Who else had given orders to behead me, And burn my corpse in fire. Do what he wisheth With right good will and thwart not his request."
