Original content

حق چو داد از پی اطیعواالله
به اطیعواالرسول ما را راه

حرف دیگر نزد به لوح بیان
جز اولواالامر منکم از پی آن

چون اولواالامر ساخت پیرایه
شرع و دین با نبی ست همسایه

بلکه حق راست سایه ممدود
واندر آن سایه عالمی خوشنود

خلق را عدل شاه دین پرور
سایه فضل حق بود بر سر

خاصه این شهریار عالی رای
کش بود بر سر اعالی پای

تاجداران مسند تمکین
جمله ظل اللهند فی الارضین

لیک ظل مطابق کامل
نیست جز شاه مفضل عادل

گوهر افسر سرافرازی
قبله مقبلان ابوالغازی

شاه سلطان حسین آن که ببست
چرخ را عدلش از تعدی دست

حق تعالی ز فیض لطف و جمال
بهر اظهار کبریا و جلال

ساخت آیینه و بداد جلا
منعکس شد در او صفا علا

دید در وی خرد به نور قدم
سلطنت را قرین حسن و شیم

داد نامش ازین دو اسم شگرف
درج در وی رموز حرف به حرف

بر سر اسنان سین او زده وصف
شرف کاخ دولت است و شرف

جعد لامش چو زلف خوبان خم
بر لوای ظفر بود پرچم

طا که هست از عطای شه حرفی
بست حاتم به جود ازان طرفی

دهر چون طائیش لقب کرده ست
شد معین کزان سبب کرده ست

هست در ضمن این سه حرف دفین
نقد اسماء تسعه و تسعین

الفش راستی ز نون برتر
تیر فتح است بر کمان ظفر

غنچه حاش نقد هشت نان
سینش از شاخ سدره داده نشان

یاش عشر است و شرع و عرش مجید
از تقالیبش آمده ست پدید

نون او نیم دایره ست به طبع
سبقت آن را بر این دوایر سبع

زیر این نه رواق مینا فام
چون شود گفته این همایون نام

آید از هر یکی به جای صدا
خلدالله ملکه ابدا

چرخ در خدمتش رضا جوی است
بر در دولتش دعاگوی است

تا سزای رضای او گردد
گرد دولتسرای او گردد

گرچه آمد سپاه او بسیار
چون نجوم ثوابت و سیار

چشم امید بر سپاهش نیست
جز در حق امیدگاهش نیست

گر رعیت و گر سپاه وی اند
همه آسوده در پناه وی اند

چون برآمد به عدل و جودش نام
چشم دارم که در همین ایام

گیرد از یمن طالع مسعود
همه عالم چو مهدی موعود

آنچنان کز ظلام ظلم و ضلال
عرصه دهر بود مالامال

نور عدلش ز مطلع احسان
همه آفاق را رسد یکسان

باز و تیهو شوند همبازی
گرگ و آهو کشند همرازی

پای رنگ ار درآید اندر سنگ
دستگیری طمع کند ز پلنگ

بس کند شیر شرزه از شر و شور
خارد از پنجه پشت و گردن گور

بوم بر وصل روز یابد دست
شب پره گردد آفتاب پرست

طی شود زین بساط بوقلمون
صورت اختلاف گوناگون

همه اضداد سازگار شوند
یکدگر را معین و یار شوند

ظلم ازین کارگه ببندد رخت
کار بر اهل ظلم گردد سخت

چون بود لفظ سیم گاه رقم
پیش اهل قلم شبیه ستم

جود او سیم را براندازد
گنج ها را ازان بپردازد

پر کند از نواله های نوال
شکم حرص و معده آمال

مستحق ناکشیده ذل طمع
جوع آزش رسد به حد شبع

سایل از جست و جو بیاساید
روزیش بی سؤال پیش آید

سازد القصه فر دولت شاه
کارها را به موجب دلخواه

دولت شاه جان فرخنده ست
که جهان زان چو تن به جان زنده ست

باد آن جان همیشه پاینده
زان جهان و جهانیان زنده

English translation

When the Truth, following 'Obey Allah', / showed us the way to 'Obey the Messenger', He uttered no other word on the tablet of explanation, / except 'and those in authority among you' after that. Since 'those in authority' became the adornment, / the religious law and faith are neighbors with the Prophet. Rather, they are the extended shadow of the Truth, / and in that shadow a whole world is content. For the people, the justice of the religion-nurturing king / is the shadow of God's grace upon their heads. Especially this sovereign of exalted judgment, / whose foot rests on the head of the highest ones. The crown-bearers of the throne of majesty / are all the shadows of Allah on earth. But the perfectly matching shadow / is none other than the favored, just king. The jewel of the crown of exaltation, / the qibla of the fortunate ones, Abu'l-Ghazi. King Sultan Husayn, he whose justice / bound the hands of fate from transgression. God the Exalted, from the abundance of grace and beauty, / to manifest greatness and majesty, Made a mirror and polished it; / purity and loftiness were reflected in it. Intellect saw in it by the light of eternity, / sovereignty paired with beauty and noble traits. Gave him a name from these two wondrous names, / embedding in it mysteries, letter by letter. Upon the teeth of his 'Sin', the description is struck: / 'The honor of the palace of fortune and nobility.' The curl of his 'Lam', like the bent tress of beauties, / is a pennant upon the banner of victory. 'Ta', which is a letter from the king's bounty ('Ata), / Hatim tied a portion of generosity from it. Since time gave him the title of Ta'i, / it became certain that it was for this reason. Hidden within these three letters is / the essence of the ninety-nine names (of God). His 'Alif' is straightness, higher than the 'Nun', / it is the arrow of conquest on the bow of victory. The bud of his 'Ha' is the essence of eight heavens, / his 'Sin' gives a sign of the branch of the Lote Tree. His 'Ya' is ten, and the glorious Sharia and Throne / have appeared from its permutations. His 'Nun' is by nature a semicircle, / its precedence over these seven spheres. Beneath these nine enamel-colored porticos, / when this auspicious name is spoken, From each one comes as an echo: / 'May Allah perpetuate his kingdom forever!' The wheel of heaven is seeking his pleasure in his service; / it is a prayer-sayer at the door of his fortune. So that it may become worthy of his pleasure, / it revolves around his palace of fortune. Although his army is vast, / like the fixed stars and the planets, His eye of hope is not upon his army, / he has no place of hope except the door of Truth. Whether they are subjects or his army, / all are at peace in his refuge. Since his name has risen through justice and generosity, / I expect that in these very days, He will seize the whole world, from the blessing of an auspicious fortune, / like the Promised Mahdi. In such a way that from the darkness of oppression and error, / the expanse of time was filled, The light of his justice from the horizon of beneficence / will reach all horizons equally. The falcon and the partridge will become playmates, / the wolf and the deer will become companions. If the mountain goat's foot steps onto a stone, / it will expect a helping hand from the leopard. The fierce lion will cease its mischief and tumult, / it will scratch the back and neck of the onager with its paw. The owl will find access to the union with day, / the bat will become a sun-worshipper. The various forms of discord / will be rolled up from this multicolored carpet. All opposites will become harmonious, / they will become helpers and friends to one another. Oppression will pack its bags from this workshop, / affairs will become hard for the people of oppression. Since the word 'silver' (Sim) in writing / is like 'oppression' (Sitam) to the people of the pen, His generosity will eradicate silver, / he will empty the treasures of it. He will fill the stomach of greed and the stomach of desires / with the morsels of bounty. The deserving one, without having endured the humiliation of greed, / the hunger of his avarice will reach the limit of satiety. The beggar will rest from searching; / his daily bread will come to him without asking. In short, the splendor of the king's fortune / will make affairs according to his heart's desire. The fortune of the king is a blessed soul, / for the world is alive by it, like a body by a soul. May that soul be eternal always, / that the world and its inhabitants may live by it.
