### [71.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.adab.basatin-al-uns.71.14)

ما رأینا فما تصور فیه شفتاه من أحسن المرجان میخواستم که وصف جمالش کنم ولیک یادش ز خود ببرد و سخن در دهان نماند در زایچهٔ‌ طالع او حکمای مجسطی دان و مهندسان اقلیدس گشای بعد تحقیق تاثیرات ادوار فلکی و اقتضای سیر سیارات سپهر چنان نوشتهاند که در بوستان امید هر که این تازه روی متبسم گردد در درج خانهآ هر که این در ثمین قرارگیرد، ثمرهآ مقصود که حصول آن از احاطت فکر دوربین بعید بود، بهدست ارادت او دهند و هر گوهر مراد که بهدست آوردن آن به تحمل مشتاق و مشاهدهآ اخطار متعلق باشد، با یسرالوجوه در دامن او نهند و چون سکندر بر عرصات بحر و بر و در ممالک هفت کشور والی و مستولی گردد و سلیمان مثال انس و جن از دل و جان نقش اطاعت و فرمانبرداری او مانند نگین بر دیدهآ جهانبین خویش بنگارند و دد و دام و سوام و هوام سر از ربقهآ اطاعت و پای از دایرهآ امتثال او بیرون نیارند، هم ساکنان خشکی خاک پایش را توتیا کردار در چشم کشند و هم متوطنان تری از مهابت تیغ آبدار او نیلوفرآسا سر بر روی آب اندازند. عزمی:

> "We have not seen, nor has there been imagined, in him lips of finer coral."  
> I wished to describe the beauty of her form, but / the memory of her took me out of myself and speech did not remain in the mouth.  
> In the horoscope of her ascendant, the Almagest-knowing sages and Euclid-unraveling geometricians, after investigating the influences of  
> the celestial cycles and the requirements of the motion of the planets of heaven, have written thus: that in the garden of hope of whomever this fresh-faced  
> one smiles, into the casket of the house of whomever this precious pearl settles, the fruit of purpose—the attainment of which was far beyond  
> the reach of far-sighted thought—shall be placed in the hand of his intent, and every gem of desire whose acquisition  
> is bound to the endurance of hardships and the witnessing of perils shall be laid in his skirt in the easiest of manners. And like Alexander he shall become  
> ruler and conqueror over the expanses of sea and land and in the realms of the seven climes; and Solomon-like, human and jinn will depict  
> from heart and soul the mark of obedience and submission to him like an engraving upon their world-viewing eye; and wild beasts,  
> game, livestock, and vermin shall not withdraw their heads from the halter of his obedience nor their feet from the circle of his compliance. The dwellers of the dry land  
> shall apply the dust of his feet to their eyes like kohl, and the inhabitants of the water, out of dread of his lustrous sword, like the lotus  
> shall cast their heads upon the face of the water. Verse:
