Muntakhab al-tawarikh 26.8

26.8

When the aromatic odour of thy good qualities removed the bond from the wrinkled mouth of the musk bag of Tatar, ambergris gained a fresh odour from its fragrant breeze, and the rose bud too was loosed from its prison by the newly arrived spring.
The heaven every moment casts the fetter of intoxication on those who are drunk with the cup of thy favour, by the obstruction of their brain.
Thy kingdom is a rivulet flowing from the spring of satisfied desire; safety, enjoyment and pleasure are the banks of this stream.
In such a way open the road of rapity for the sails of victory,
That by thy justice no fetters may exist in the world save the locks of lovers' hair.
You see one who has assisted injustice in his soul in whose path
Destiny places countless obstacles.
Like Naushirwan when thou knockest at the door of justice,
Thou keepest not the chains firmly fastened on bad and good.
In thy reign, it behoves that no one in his lifetime should see any fetter, save on the foot of the cypress and the finger-bearing leaf of the Chinar.
The knot of the dragon's tail and the dragon's head is a fetter on the sky, come and relieve the distressed heaven from its bondage,
That the sun and moon may become relieved of the affliction of eclipse in the knot of the dragon’s tail, like me who am in the bond of distress.
Thou hast ordered that the learned should be imprisoned; beware that thou layest no bond upon the learned.
