البشر بما تهوی فحدک1 طائع والدهر منقاد لأمرک خاضع گیتی ز فر و دولت فرماندهآ جهانماند به عرصهآ ارم و روضهآ جنان در هر طرف که چشم کنی جلوهآ ظفر در هر طرف که گوش نهی مزدهآ امان از تأثیر دولت روزافزون و بخت مساعد پادشاه هلال منجوق رایات فتح آیات سر بر آسمان میساید و آفتاب خنجر سپاه سیاره عدد هر روز عرصه و مملکتی نو می گشاید، گاه از سم مرکبان باد سرعت گرد از بحر محیط برمی آرد و گاه از تن دشمنان آبی دریای خون بر خاک صحرای رزم روان میکند، دریای بیکران از تاب آفتاب شمشیرهای آبگون چون لبهای مخالفان خشک و سطح سپهر گردان از نم موج خون مانند دیدههای خسا تر شده، و از روز عزیمت ما امروز مملکت روم و چین و هند و شهری معظم و قلاع و حصون مستحکم

> "Rejoice in what you desire, for your fortune is obedient / and time is submissive to your command and humble.  
> The world, from the splendor and fortune of the commander of the world, / resembles the expanse of Iram and the garden of Paradise.  
> To whichever side you look, there is the display of victory; / to whichever side you lend an ear, there are tidings of security.  
> By the effect of the sovereign's ever-increasing prosperity and favorable fortune, the crescent-tipped finial of the victory-portending banners rubs its head  
> against the sky, and the sun-dagger of the army, numerous as the wandering planets, opens a new expanse and realm every day. At times,  
> from the hooves of steeds of swift wind, it raises dust from the encircling ocean, and at times from the bodies of enemies a watery sea of blood  
> it causes to flow upon the soil of the battlefield. The boundless ocean, from the heat of the sun of the water-like swords, like  
> the lips of adversaries, has become dry; and the surface of the revolving heaven, from the moisture of the wave of blood, has become wet like the eyes of the vile. And  
> from the day of our departure to this day, the kingdoms of Rūm and China and India, and great cities, and firm fortresses and strongholds
