The Faghfoor's Envoys at Gang-Behesht

From C4.30, The Faghfoor Sends Word to Khosrow. It illustrates C4.30.11–15:

  • C4.30.11
    Those mighty men of Chin made no delay,And reached Gang-Behesht on the seventh day.
  • C4.30.12
    The conqueror received them with respect,And seated each by rank, as was correct.
  • C4.30.13
    He took the gifts that they had brought with them,Rare treasures, purses, slaves, and every gem.
  • C4.30.14
    He told the envoy: “Say this when you go:Do not affront or bring our honor low.
  • C4.30.15
    Let Afrasiab never come by night,To you, when sleep has veiled your eyes from light.”
