20.2.1

And after the assassination of the Sultan certain mischief-makers out of envy accused the Imam of having conspired with the Fidais, and asserted that the Imam was well aware of their hypocrisy. They made an attempt upon the Imam and he fled for refuge to Muaiyyidu-l-Mulk Sinjari who was one of the distinguished generals of the Sultan; he despatched him in safety to a place of security. A poet has written an ode in praise of him of which the following are two couplets. Sultan Muizzu-d-Din Shah Ghazi whose sword in the world has become like the famous Zulfiqar of Ali Murtaza. The true Sultan Muhammad Sam, he whose love for the people is like the Sun of the friendship of Mustafa. Another poet says — The Emperor of the age, Khusrau Ghazi Muizzu-d-Din, From whom the glory of crown and diadem gains increase, The origin of victory, Muhammad ibn Sam ibn Husain, His very presence has become the mark for princely glory. And Nazuki Maraghai too says in praise of him — Shah Muizzu-d-Din before whose princely might The heaven stands girt like a bunch of flowers; He came to the throne like a rose at the time when The heaven brought the Sun into the Balance.
