Afrasiab Marches Out from Gang

Afrasiab Marches Out from Gang

From B9.50, Afrasiab Marches against Siavash. It illustrates B9.50.1–4:

  • B9.50.1
    When Afrasiab heard the words just said,The fires of former wrath rose in his head.
  • B9.50.2
    His heart was fire, his head a raging gale,To Garsivaz he gave no answering tale.
  • B9.50.3
    He called for ney and cymbals sounding clear,For karnays, Indian bells for all to hear.
  • B9.50.4
    He left fair Gang, that paradise behind,The tree of vengeance freshened in his mind.
