Basātīn al-uns 69.4

- **Language:** Persian

### [69.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.adab.basatin-al-uns.69.4)

و سلیمان مثال پای بر تخت مملکت یایدار که سالها بهباد داده بود و دست تصرف او بدان نمیرسید بنهاد و در بزم سعادت ساغر خوشگوار خرمی مالامال نوش کرده با عروس بخت که یک چندی نقاب مخالفت بر روی بسته بود دست وفا در اغوش کرد و درهای مکرمت به شکر این نعمت عظیم بر جهانیان بگشاد تا همگنان را به تحقیق پیوست که کفران نعمت را عاقبتی نامحمود و حرام خوار غدار مدام با طالعی نامسعود باشد:

> And like Solomon, he set foot upon the enduring throne of the kingdom, which for years had been cast to the wind and beyond the reach of his control;  
> and in the banquet of felicity, having drained to the brim the delightful goblet of gladness, he embraced with fidelity the bride  
> of fortune, who for a time had drawn the veil of opposition over her face. And he opened the doors of  
> bounty to the people of the world in gratitude for this tremendous blessing, so that it was verified to all that ingratitude  
> for blessings has an unpraiseworthy end, and the treacherous devourer of the unlawful is ever accompanied by an ill-omened destiny:
