When the auspicious throne of royalty was filled by this dignified and brave monarch, all the officers of the State and inhabitants of the kingdom were divided into three classes. The brothers and relations of the King, the nobles and ministers, as well as the military men, were called Ahl-i Daulat (officers of the State), because it is evident that — according to the words, "There can be no dominion without men" — no degree of wealth and prosperity can be attained without the assistance of this class of brave and courageous people; and no one can obtain the throne and power without the aid of warriors and heroes.
"Kings, with the assistance of their army, Place their feet upon the throne of empires. He alone can obtain wealth and rank Who is assisted by his army."
The holy persons, the great mushaikhs (religious men), the respectable saiyids, the literati, the law officers, the scientific persons, poets, besides other great and respectable men, formed the second class, and were denominated Ahl-i Sa'ádat (good men), because to observe, honour, and regard these people, and to associate with such men, secures eternal prosperity, and enables men to rise to high dignities and ranks.
"Virtue is the gift of God: It is not in the power of the mighty man to obtain it. If you wish to obtain fortune, You must associate with virtuous men."
Those who possessed beauty and elegance, those who were young and most lovely, also clever musicians and sweet singers, composed the third class, and the appellation of Ahl-i Murád (people of pleasure) was conferred on them, because most people take great delight in the company of such young-looking men, of rosy cheeks and sweet voices, and are pleased by hearing their songs, and the pleasing sound of the musical instruments, such as the harp, the sackbut, and the lute.
"The hope of the heart of lovers Is never realized but when they meet persons whose cheeks are rosy. He who is fond of hearing songs and music Has the gates of happiness opened for himself."
