Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, thy dominion is the dominion of uprightness. Thy empire is no changeable empire. Thy rule is not a divided rule. The rays of the brightness of thy holiness are the portrayers of the sun and moon. The recluse of thy kingdom is in the highest altitude of Simak reaching even to Samak. At one time thou givest to the partridge of the day wings and feathers of fiery hue, at another in the liquid cage of the heavens thou makest the moon-tailed pigeon of the night as an angel. Thou hast broken the cup of the moon at the head and foot of each month. Thou hast bound thine all-encompassing contemplation around the star Farrak. Thy power is the gardener, the four quarters of the earth are his tilth; Thou hast cast around that, as the shelter of an eyelid, the bounty of the seven oceans. From the midst of the oven of the east, thy order bringeth forth the loaf of gold of the west after the silvery loaf. In the garden full of thy skilled works, the hand of the tiring woman of the morning breeze rubs on the rouge of adornment like the beauties do over the patches. The rose with the mark of the mole on its cheek displayed its buds: Like the cheek of the beauty the moon displays its face from the heavens. - [Previous: 25.3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.25.3.7) - [Next: 26.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.26.2) - [Up: 26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.26) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.26.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.26.1) · Pramāṇa
