He laid his famous head upon the earth,And said: “O shining Khosrow, king by birth,

A greater one like you should never rideTo meet a lesser servant at his side.

I am the least of servants of your crown;You are the Shah of Kayanian’s renown.”

The crown-bestowing Shah, with joy restored,Bade Rostam mount and ride beside his lord.
