Farangis and Khosrow Return to Siavash-Gard
From B9.60, Kay Khosrow Comes to Siavash-Gard. It illustrates B9.60.10–18:
- B9.60.10When Farangis and Khosrow reached the gate,The people gathered there from every state.
- B9.60.11They bowed their faces low toward the ground,While blessings rose from every tongue around:
- B9.60.12“From uprooted roots a branch has risen high!May God protect him from the evil eye!
- B9.60.13May evil eyes stay far from Khosrow’s way,And Siavash’s soul shine bright as day!”
- B9.60.14The thorns became green boxwood far and wide;Free cypresses rose proudly at their side.
- B9.60.15Both beasts and herds rejoiced throughout the plain,While thoughts of Siavash stirred hearts with pain.
- B9.60.16From earth that drank his noble blood below,A green tree rose toward clouds in living show.
- B9.60.17Its leaves displayed the likeness of his face,And breathed out musk across the mourning place.
- B9.60.18In Dey it stood as though the earth would bloom,A shrine for mourners at his lonely tomb.
