Now list the lamentation of B rbod	A
And grow forgetful of the world at large	B
On hearing that the Sh h not by advice	C
And 'gainst his will no longer filled the throne	D
That 'men are seeking how to murder him	E
The soldiers are renouncing fealty '	F
B rbad came from Chahram to Taisaf n	G
With tearful eyes and heart o'ercharged he came	H
To that abode and saw the Sh h whereat	A
His tulip cheeks became like fenugreek	I
He bode awhile in presence of the Sh h	F
Then went with wailing to the audience hall	J
His love flamed in his heart his heart and soul	K
Burned in his anguish for Khusrau Parwiz	C
His eyes rained like a cloud in Spring and made	A
His bosom as the margent of the sea	C
He fashioned him a dirge upon the harp	L
And to that dirge he sang a mournful plaint	A
With visage wan and heart fulfilled with grief	M
He thus lamented in the olden tongue	N
	-
'O Sh h O noble chieftan O Khusrau	O
O great O strong O hero ne'er cast down	P
Where are thy mastery and greatness now	Q
Where all thy Grace thy fortune and thy crown	P
	-
'Where that imperial circlet towering height	A
Where are thine armlets and thine ivory throne	D
Where all thy manliness thy Grace and might	A
Who 'neath thy wings hadst this world for thine own	D
	-
'Oh whither are thy dames and minstrels gone	R
Gate audience hall and leaders of thy day	A
The diadem and K wa's gonfalon	R
And all the blue steel falchions where are they	A
	-
'Where are the head the crown that loved it well	S
Mate of the earrings and the throne of gold	A
Where are Shabdiz his stirrups and his sell	S
The steed that 'neath thee ever caracol'd	A
	-
'Where are thy helmet head and habergeon	R
All golden and compacted gem to gem	T
Thy cavaliers in gold caparison	R
Whose swords made enemies the sheaths for them	T
	-
'Where all the camels for thy progresses	C
The golden litters and attendance rife	U
Led steeds white elephants and dromedaries	C
Have one and all grown hopeless of life	U
	-
'Where are thy fluent tongue and courteous	C
Thy heart thy purpose and thine ardent soul	K
Why reft of all art thou abandoned thus	C
Hast read of such a day in any roll	K
	-
'Oh trust not to this world whose remedy	A
Is weaker than its bane 'Twas thy desire	O
To have a son to aid and succour thee	A
Now through the son the gyves are on the sire	O
	-
'It is by sons that kings obtain their might	A
And are unblemished by time's travailings	C
Yet ever as his sons increased in height	A
Both Grace and vigour failed the king of kings	C
	-
'None that shall lend an ear while men recall	J
The story of Khusrau Parwiz must dare	O
to trust the world Account as ruined all	J
Ir n and as the pards' and lions' lair	O
	-
'of the S s nian race the Sh h was head	A
One peerless in the sight of crown and state	A
The foeman's wishes are accomplish d	A
And like Ir n the race is desolate	A
	-
'No man possessed a larger host than he	A
Yet who had cause for justice to beseech	V
The great protector brought the misery	A
And now the wolves are making for the breach	V
	-
''O Sh h devoid of shame ' thus tell Shirwi	W
'Such conduct is not worthy of this court	A
Count not upon thy troops' fidelity	A
When war is rife on all sides ' God support	A
	-
'Thy soul my master and it is my prayer	O
That He thy foemen's heads may headlong fling	X
By God and by thy life my king I swear	O
By New Year's Day by sun and jocund Spring	X
	-
'If e'er this hand of mine again shall turn	R
To harping may no blessing light on me	A
Mine instruments of music will I burn	R
That I may ne'er behold thine enemy '	-
	-
He cut four fingers off and grasped the stumps	C
Within his other palm Returning home	Y
He kindled fire and burned his instruments	C
While those about Kub d both day and night	A
At all that might befall them quaked with fright	A
