The Four Women Fall in Grief

From C4.61, Khosrow Takes Leave of His Women. It illustrates C4.61.1–9:

C4.61.1
He had four radiant women; none had seenTheir faces even in a dream’s clear sheen.
C4.61.2
He called those idols from their bowers away,And told his purpose plainly on that day:
C4.61.3
“I am about to leave this earthly place;Let neither grief nor pain your hearts embrace.
C4.61.4
You shall not look upon my face once more;I tire of earth and all the griefs it bore.
C4.61.5
I go to God, the holy Judge above,And see no path returning to your love.”
C4.61.6
The four fell senseless, overcome by grief;Their cries of love and pain found no relief.
C4.61.7
They tore their faces, plucked their flowing hair,And broke their jeweled ornaments in despair.
C4.61.8
Then each, as sense returned, began to cry,And raised her voice in lamentation high:
C4.61.9
“Take us as well from this inconstant sphere,And lead us on the hidden road from here.”
