The Nāṣirī Generations 244.5.9

244.5.9

When the Ulugh Khani good fortune emitted a blaze of brightness, the garden of hope assumed freshness, and the key of divine favour opened the closed gates of the dwellers in retirement. One of that number was this servant of the sovereign dynasty, Minhaj-i-Saraj, Jurjani, who, by the power of enemies’ accusations, and the oppressive tyranny of eunuchs, had kept within the cell of dismissal and misfortune, and in a retired corner from adversity and malevolence. Through the patronage and favour of Ulugh Khan-i-A’zam, who submitted it for the sublime confirmation, on Sunday, the 7th of the month of Rabi’-ul-Awwal, 653 H., for the third time, the Kazi-ship of the kingdom and the bench of jurisdiction [as chief Kazi] was conferred upon this loyal supplicant, the enunciator of prayer and thanksgiving; and 'Verily, He who hath prescribed to thee the Kur’an will bring thee back to a place of return' was manifested towards this frail one. May the most High God, of His favour, unto the uttermost revolutions of the heavens, in felicity and supremacy, preserve and perpetuate the Nasiri sovereignty and Ulugh Khani authority, for the sake of Muhammad and his whole race!
