The Chachnāma (Fatḥnāma-yi Sind) 1.1

1.1

In the name of God, the most merciful and compassionate. Unlimited praise and gratitude are due to that One all-nourishing, all-powerful, all-forgiving, and compassionate Being, Who is the protector of the earth and the heavens, and the guardian of the world, and its inhabitants, and Who has brought so many thousands of concordant and discordant forms of creatures from the plane of nonentity to the plane of existence. He allotted to every one a distinct shape and motion and calling, to every one He gave a different colour, and a peculiar habit; and for every one He appointed a different art and a different profession. And He made every one pleased with his own line and his own lot.
