Piran Prays Alone for an End

From C3.23, Afrasiab Replies to Piran. It illustrates C3.23.62–68:

C3.23.62
He thought: “If Afrasiab should be killed,With all Turan’s famed chiefs, the battle-skilled,
C3.23.63
If they are doomed to perish in the fray,And all our fortune’s promise turns away—”
C3.23.64
Then bitterly he wailed: “O Judge on high,O radiant Maker, hear my grieving cry.
C3.23.65
When Khosrow comes from Iran to this plain,And all the earth falls under his domain,
C3.23.66
Then let the Maker take my soul away,My body in its jowshan torn that day.
C3.23.67
May these world-seeing eyes not live to seeAnother take my place and ways from me.
C3.23.68
To one whose fortune thwarts his every breath,No difference lies between his life and death.”
