بخش ۲۰ - اشاره به آنچه حق سبحانه و تعالی در شأن پادشاهان عجم به داوود علیه السلام کرده است / Section 20 - Allusion to What the Exalted Truth, Glorified and Exalted Be He, Revealed to David, Peace Be Upon Him, Concerning the Kings of Persia

Original content

گفت با داوود پیغمبر خدای
کامت خود را بگوی ای نیک رای

کز عجم چون پادشاهان آورند
نام ایشان جز به نیکی کم برند

گرچه بود آتشپرستی دینشان
بود عدل و راستی آیینشان

قرن ها زیشان جهان معمور بود
ظلمت ظلم از رعایا دور بود

بندگان فارغ ز غم فرسودگی
داشتند از عدلشان آسودگی

English translation

God said to David the prophet: 'Express your desire, O man of good counsel, That when they mention the kings of Persia, They rarely speak of their names except with goodness. Though fire-worship was their religion, Justice and truthfulness were their custom. For centuries the world was prosperous because of them, And the darkness of tyranny was kept far from the subjects. The servants of God, free from the weariness of sorrow, Enjoyed peace and comfort because of their justice.'
