ملکالموت به حکم «کل نفس ذابقة الموت»1 هیچ نفسی را خلاص و نجات صورت نبندد، اما یک آرزوی جان شکر تا صبح روز محشر در دل من خواهد بود و هر ذره از تن خاک گشتهآ من بر فوات آن حسرتهای فراوان خواهد فزود و افسوسهای بی کران خواهد خورد و آن این است که چون حقوق تنم نامحصور پادشاه «من وقت المهد الی هذا العهد»22، بر ذمهآ من ثابت و متوجه است و از ادوار روزگار و تعاقب لیل و نهار در قواعد آن بههیچ وجه فتوری راه نیافته بلک هر لحظه وهر زمان تضاعف پذیرفته، و چون منی را که از غایت خمول سیمرغ اسا در پس قاف محنت مأوا ساخته و ماروت مثال در قعر چاه مذلت نگونسار و از چشم جهانیان دور مانده بود، مشهورتر از خورشید جهان نما و سرافرازتر از سرو آزاد گردانیده، شعر:

> yet one soul-rending desire will remain in my heart until the morning of the Day of Resurrection, and every particle of my dust-turned body  
> will add manifold regrets and taste boundless sighs over its loss, and it is this:  
> that since the innumerable claims of the king's benefaction upon me from the cradle to this present era are firmly binding and incumbent upon my conscience,  
> and through the revolutions of time and the alternation of night and day no defect has entered into their foundations, but rather at every  
> moment and hour they have redoubled; and he has made one such as me—who, out of sheer obscurity, had made an abode like the Sīmurgh behind the Qāf of  
> misfortune, and like Mārūt was cast headlong into the bottom of the well of abasement and kept far from the eyes of the people of the world—  
> more renowned than the world-revealing sun and more exalted than the noble cypress. Poetry:  
> was, having made \[him\] more renowned than the world-displaying sun and more exalted than the noble cypress, verse:
