From C4.24, Kay Khosrow Exhorts the Iranians. It illustrates C4.24.18–24:
- C4.24.18The scattered Turks came in, an endless flow;Their countless troops approached the Shah Khosrow.
- C4.24.19He granted quarter, welcomed every man,And soon arranged all their trade by his plan.
- C4.24.20He settled them with justice and command,And gave each chief his portion of the land.
- C4.24.21To every noble he assigned a town;But rebels found no mercy from the crown.
- C4.24.22Turan was overcome; from every sideThe chiefs proclaimed Khosrow their rightful guide.
- C4.24.23From every quarter envoys came to showTheir homage at the court of Shah Khosrow.
