Nahid's Bridal Train Reaches Darab
From D3.3, Darab Fights Faylaqus and Weds His Daughter. It illustrates D3.3.43–50:
- D3.3.43The nobles chosen to escort the brideBrought royal gifts and treasures at her side.
- D3.3.44They built a golden litter, richly wrought,And crowned attendants to its side were brought.
- D3.3.45Ten mules bore loads of Roman cloth of gold,With jeweled figures bright on every fold.
- D3.3.46Three hundred camel-loads of carpets rareWere sent among the gifts and costly ware.
- D3.3.47Within the litter sat the lovely maid,A monk and bishop lent their guiding aid.
- D3.3.48Behind Nahid came sixty maidens bright,Each with a golden cup that caught the light.
- D3.3.49Their cups held royal jewels of costly glow;Their crowns and earrings graced the lovely show.
- D3.3.50The bishop gave the bride to Darab’s care,And to his treasurer counted jewels rare.
