Muntakhab al-tawarikh 27.2

27.2

The centre of kingship of land and sea Taju 'l-Haqq, who made a ship of safety for traversing the ocean (Qulzum) of sorrow.
Sinjar who is like the sky in dignity, in fear of whom sedition navigated its ship in the direction of the crossing of the ocean of Qairawan.
Needs must that with those two love fascinated eyes, The sun should endeavour to protect himself from the snares of thy locks.
When the story of thy fragrant tresses reached him, The curtailed his mention of the bag of musk.
He suffered from the effects of the intoxication of thine eyes, And he got rid of his headache by drinking of the cup of the assembly of the world-subduer.
The auspicious lion, protector of the crown of true religion, Sinjar, In whose estimation the fierce lion of the sky is but a stag.
The stag thought right to carry a fragrant ball of camphor taken from the dust of his threshold, to Egypt, as a memorial.
Perhaps it was from the dust of his dignity which became the ornament of the sun, that the stag obtained superiority over the wild beasts by reason of his musk-bag.
Happy art thou star-arrowed one, whom the demon-hearted fear and shun as the stag avoids the lion.
An enemy who falls into thy clutches does not escape; Who has ever known the stag to escape from the claws of the lion?
At that time the stag prided himself upon being fleeter than thy charger, now in sooth the stag is ashamed of his slow-footedness.
