وتوائب زمان کساد وفساد نذیرذ . پاذشاه بر همه جهان ، کی عیال جلال ، وموالی عوالی سیاست اوست ، طریق انصاف وانتصاف سپرذ؛ آنکاه نتیجهآ اقبال ، وزبدهآ جلال پاذشاهی را تحریض ناقص عقلی هدف 3 تیر تلف گردانذ در شریعت کرم ، وسنت دیانت ، موافق وملایم عقل ننمایذ ، ومفتی عقل قلم بر ساض این فتوی ننهذ؛ وآوازهآ این سیاست چون از دروازهٔ‌ دار الملک ، بواسطهٔ‌ اخبار صادر ووارد بسمع ملوک اقالیم رسذ ، طباع واسماع ملوک وسلاطین از مخالصت وموافقت این دولت متنفر گردذ ؛ وچشم اطماع فسده ، در ساحت ملک ودولت باز شوذ ، ودست تعرض خصمان دولت دراز گردذ ؛ وعقلای جهان ، وعلمای گیهان، کی ناظر امور جمهورند ، تقدیم این سیاست را هفوت محض ، وزلت صرف شمرید؛ ووزرا وندمای اورا برکا کت عقل وسخافت رآی منسوب گردانند . وبر رأی جهان آرای عدل فرمای شاه ، کی آفتاب درپیش او 2 چون سایهآ دیوار ، بر رخسار روز گار (000) ، مقرر است کی ملوک وامرارا هیچ عیبی زیادت از التفات نموذن قول زنان نست ؛ وکلمات ایشانرا کی مهیج فترت ، وباعث زلت است ، در وهم وخیال ودر ذهن وفکرت ، حای داذن از عقل وخرذ دورست ؛ وهرکه ر مهر زنان وموافقت ایشان اعتماد بمایذ ، در عواقب آن در ورطهٔ‌ غرامت وبدامت

> and the calamities of time it suffers neither stagnation nor ruin. The king has traversed the path of equity and justice over the whole world,  
> which constitutes the dependents of his majesty and the subjects of the heights of his punishment;  
> that then the offspring of royal good fortune and the cream of majesty should, by the instigation of one deficient in intellect, be made the target of the arrow  
> of destruction does not appear conformable and suitable to intellect in the Sharīʿa of generosity and the custom of religion,  
> and the mufti of intellect will not set his pen upon the clean sheet of this legal opinion; and when the report of this punishment,  
> by means of the news arriving and departing, reaches from the gates of the capital to the hearing of the kings  
> of the realms, the natures and hearing of kings and sultans will turn in revulsion from sincerity and agreement with this dynasty;  
> and the eye of greed of the corrupt will open upon the expanse of the kingdom and the realm,  
> and the hand of interference of the enemies of the state will be stretched forth; and the wise of the world and the learned of the earth,  
> who watch over the affairs of the public, will consider the execution of this punishment pure error and unmitigated

> And to the world-adorning, justice-decreeing judgment of the shah—before which the sun is

> there is no greater fault than paying regard to the words of women; and giving their speech—  
> which incites upheaval and causes slips—a place in fancy and imagination, and in mind  
> and thought, is far from intellect and reason. And whoever relies upon the affection of women  
> and their compliance will, in the end, be trapped in the abyss of loss and regret,
