May the Most High God prolong the happiness and felicity of the Monarch of the Universe to the extreme limit of possibility, and may He keep it uninterrupted and increasing; and grant that this Tabakat may be deemed worthy of acceptance in the Sublime Audience-Hall, and that this author, in the garment of prayer, may, thereon, pronounce its conclusion with this verse: — Be Khizr, with the bowl of immortality, the Shah’s cup-bearer! Be the portico of his gate like unto the nine-vaulted sphere! May it continue in the world as long as the world continues — The name of the Tabakat of Mahmud Shah-i-Nasir-ud-Din.”
