Overview

Following his praise of the singular chief administrator in Section 44, Sanai uses Section 45 of the Hadiqat al-Haqiqah to extend his honoring to the broader administrative class—the 'Lords of the Pen' (arbab-e qalam) and the masters of the court.

Key Themes

• Transition to Collective Praise: The section opens by deliberately transitioning from the 'master of masters' (the chief scribe praised in Section 44) to the other administrative officials ('پس از این خواجه خواجگان دگر'), demonstrating a comprehensive appreciation for the state bureaucracy.
• The Pen as a Sword: Sanai metaphorically equates the pens of these administrators to swords ('کلکشان با مثابت شمشیر'), illustrating that their intellectual and administrative labor is as crucial to maintaining and defending the state as direct military might.
