In Section 50 of the Khosrow Nameh, Farid al-Din Attar describes the military confrontation between Khosrow's forces, supported by Caesar's Roman troops, and the King of Ispahan. The narrative employs vivid epic imagery, depicting the raising of battle drums, the dust rising to the sky like a ladder, and the deafening sound of trumpets compared to the trumpet of the Day of Resurrection. The section culminates in the battle where the King of Ispahan is killed, resolving the conflict initiated in the previous sections.
