had remained untrodden, and the highway of equity, which had been effaced and blotted out under the trampling feet of tyranny, were traversed and made clear; the order of the kingdom and the splendor of the realm returned to their customary stability and familiar way,
and attained fixity and constancy upon the foundations of rectitude and the bases of decrees. Consequently, hearts take the steps of affection in passion for him, and souls gird the loins of service in devotion to him, and the inward convictions of sincere servants and the outward witnesses of affectionate counselors
grow firmer by the hour and more steadfast by the moment that the foundation of this dynasty shall remain forever and ever, and the lofty castle of this kingdom—may its quarters and corners never cease to flourish, and its flanks and foundations be fortified—shall escape the hand of the vicissitudes of interregnum into the haven of immunity and safety,
and annex the realm of Iran to the expanse of Turan, and the khutba, coinage, and pulpits of the cities of the horizons
shall be adorned with his exalted titles and address:
The maiden cities and the matrons have sought you in marriage, / and toward you, rather than other kings, is their repose.
The Qurʾān has come, and its verses have announced the good news / of an increase in kingship whose time has now arrived.
Dour camels have borne your praise across the deserts, / and ships in the seas have vowed allegiance to you.
O reviver of nations whose black calamities / and griefs had severed their life-veins!
And upon every pulpit prayers are offered for him / in good deeds, followed by their 'Amen.'
May you ever dwell in blessings whose springtide lasts / forever, and whose pure spring remains before the eyes!
