The Book of Akbar 6.74

6.74

هیهات هیهات، سخن فروش نیستم که چشم تحسین از مردم داشته باشد. جایزهآ عظمی ازین گزیدهتر چه باشد که دل اخلاص گزین من مصدر نکات حقانی شده است و خرد نکتهدان من مهبط این دقایق ربانی گشته ازین جواهر شبتاب گوشوارههای گرامی بجهت آرایش گوش هوش سعادتمندان دانش پسند یادگار میگذارم؟

the prudent and alert of mind will get proof of these words. Whoever at the present day shall peruse with the eyes of discernment and knowledge, the account of these illustrious magnates and understand the office of the Caliph of the Age, and become acquainted with the stages of the degrees of greatness of the Lord of the World, will applaud the exposition. Away, Away! I am no word-seller, seeking for approving glances from men. What more choice blessing can there be than this, that my truth-electing heart has been made a fount of true impressions, and that my scrutinising reason has become an alighting-stage for these divine subtleties? With these night-gleaming jewels I frame glorious earrings as abiding ornaments for the understanding ears of the fortunate lovers of wisdom.
