46.1
The realm settled upon the king; fortune at last gained discernment.
The root of prosperity sprouted anew; the branch of equity bore fruit again.
For a time the realm was in upheaval; in the end it found stability under the king.
The realm-bestowing king, Rukn al-Dīn, who took the pearl of the realm in hand from right and left.
He who gave a treasure at a single request, and he who took a kingdom with a single horseman.
When the reflection of his banquet fell upon the firmament, Venus's house took adornment from it.
Heaven imagined his battle: its expanse was seized by his tempered blade.
When the dawn of his sword shone from the sheath, the sun of heaven took refuge in a fortress.
O king, O Chosroes, O lord! These three titles took pride from you.
The whole world adopted the hallmark of your reign; the kingdom of the world took on that very hallmark.
The foot of the realm became firm now that it took your stirrup firmly.
If for a few days, through misjudgement, the realm withdrew from this empire,
ashamed, it then returned with an excuse and embraced the head of your good fortune.
