Shirin Hears the Watchmen Cry

From E7.10, Shiruyeh Is Released. It illustrates E7.10.137–145:

E7.10.137
When night had drawn about its pitch-black cloak,From town and market one great clamor broke:
E7.10.138
“Forever live Qobad, of noble strain;May every province glorify his reign.”
E7.10.139
Khosrow lay sleeping, Shirin by his side;She heard the watchmen’s cry and shook inside.
E7.10.140
She cried, “O Shah, what shall we do tonight?What act remains to meet this sudden plight?”
E7.10.141
Her voice awoke the Shah; he stirred in pain,And heard her anxious words with sharp disdain.
E7.10.142
He said, “Moon-face, why rouse me from my sleep?”She said, “The watchmen cry from every keep.”
E7.10.143
He paled, and said, “Three watches now have fled;Recall the words the star-reader once said.
E7.10.144
I named him so in secret; all the courtCalled him Shiruyeh, by the world’s report.
E7.10.145
This steward calls him Qobad in the night;We must make ready for a secret flight.
