The Odes of Badr-i Chāch 1: Congratulations on the Arrival of a Khilát from the 'Abbásí Khalífa.

1

Gabriel, from the firmament of Heaven, has proclaimed the glad tidings, that a robe of honour and Patent have reached the Sultan from the Khalifa, just as the verses of the Kuran honoured Muhammad by their arrival from the Court of the immortal God.
The Imam has given the Shah absolute power over all the world, and this intelligence has reached all other Shahs throughout the seven climates. The Patent of the other sovereigns of the world has been revoked, for an autograph grant has been despatched from the eternal Capital. The wells of the envious have become as dry as that of Joseph, now that the Egyptian robe has been received in Hindustan from Canaan. * * * A veritable 'I'd has arrived to the Faithful, now that twice in one year a Khila't has reached the Sultan from the Amiru-l Muminin. * * * Rajab arrived here on his return in the month of Muharram, 746 H. (May, 1345 A.D.). * * * The king now never mentions his desire of sitting on an ivory throne, since his enemies sit on the point of elephants' tusks. * * * Be happy, oh Badr, for by the grace of God, and liberality of the king, your difficulties have ceased, and the period of benefactions has arrived.
