In Section 12 of Jami's Silsilat al-Dhahab (Haft Awrang), the author employs orthographic wordplay to derive moral and political lessons regarding oppression and punishment:

1. The Word 'Zalim' (ظالم - Oppressor): Jami points out that if the first letter, Za (ظ), is removed, the remaining three letters spell Alam (الم), meaning pain or suffering. This linguistic omission serves as an allegory: when the oppressor passes away ('pulls his head into the collar of non-existence'), nothing remains of him but pain and torment.
2. The Word 'Siyasat' (سیاست - Punishment/Governance): Jami notes that this word contains the three letters of Yas (یاس), meaning despair or hopelessness. This indicates that political punishment or state chastisement of an oppressor must be severe enough to induce absolute despair in them, ensuring they abandon all desire to commit further acts of tyranny.
