بخش ۴۹ - اشارت به خونریزی شیرویه خسرو را و نامبارکی آن بر وی / Section 49 - Allusion to Shiruyeh's Bloodshed of Khosrow and its Inauspiciousness upon Him

Original content

غرقه خون چون خسرو از شیرویه خفت
نکته ای خوش در حق شیرویه گفت

که بدان شاخی که آب از اصل خورد
سر کشید از آب و قصد اصل کرد

اصل را چون کند و شد میدان فراخ
خشک و بی بر بر زمین افتاد شاخ

English translation

When Khosrow slept, drowned in blood by Shiruyeh, He spoke a fine point concerning Shiruyeh: 'That branch which drank water from its root, grew high from the water and plotted against the root. When it uprooted the root and the field became wide, dry and fruitless, the branch fell to the ground.'
