"The faithful Gabriel carried the tidings to the dwellers in heaven, From the record of victories of the Sulṭan of the age Shams ud-Din, Saying — Oh ye holy angels raise upon the heavens, Hearing this good tidings, the canopy of adornment. That from the land of the heretics the Shahanshah of Islam Has conquered a second time the fort resembling the sky; The Shah, holy warrior and Ghazi, whose hand and sword The soul of the lion of repeated attacks praises."
