ABSTRACT
C. 1706 When of Írán and of the Íranian king News reached the Khán of Chín, and of the joy Wherewith his child had been received, and how The alliance caused good cheer and happiness, He gave up Sughd and Samarkand and Chách, And sent his crown on to Káchár Báshí. Now when the hosts of Chín had left these states The Sháh sent marchlords thither. He renewed The world by equity, and old and young Could sleep upon their backs. All everywhere Called blessings down on him with hands upraised To heaven : “ O Ruler over space and time ! Keep in Sháh Núshírwán this justice still, And turn the ills of fortune from his life, For by his Grace divine and majesty Both public ills and private have been banned. What time he reached Gurgán to hunt none saw The Khán’s face smile ; the cavaliers of Chín Forwent their food and sleep, and none off-saddled ; Three hundred thousand Turkman troops dispersed Instead of striving and of combating ; There is no need to string the bow, for none Of Chín, or small or great, remaineth here, Such were the Grace divine and royal mien Wherewith the savage Lion sought the chase ;
Such were his reputation and his star That fortune was the comrade of his throne.”
