Khosrow Rides to His Grandfather

From C4.40, Kay Khosrow Returns to His Grandfather. It illustrates C4.40.7–10:

• C4.40.7
  When Kay Kavus, with chiefs of high command,Had come outside the city through the land,
• C4.40.8
  The young Shah saw his grandfather afar,And spurred his charger like a shooting star.
• C4.40.9
  They clasped each other, kissed both face and head,And tears of bitterness between them shed.
• C4.40.10
  They wept for all the years of grief and painThey lived without the joy they now could gain.
