Epistle to the Son of the Wolf — Paragraph 67

Source (Persian)

* يا سلطان انظر بطرف العدل الی المظلوم ثمّ احکم بالحقّ فيما ورد عليه انّ اللّه قد جعلک ظلّه بين العباد و آية قدرته لمن فی البلاد احکم بيننا و بين الّذين ظلمونا من دون بيّنة و لا کتاب منير * انّ الّذين حولک يحبّونک لانفسهم و الغلام يحبّک لنفسک و ما اراد الّا ان يقرّبک الی مقرّ الفضل و يقلّبک الی يمين العدل و کان ربّک علی ما اقول شهيدا *

Translation

"Look upon this Wronged One, O King, with the eyes of justice; judge thou, then, with truth concerning what hath befallen Him. Of a verity, God hath made thee His shadow amongst men, and the sign of His power unto all that dwell on earth. Judge thou between Us and them that have wronged Us without proof and without an enlightening Book. They that surround thee love thee for their own sakes, whereas this Youth loveth thee for thine own sake, and hath had no desire except to draw thee nigh unto the seat of grace, and to turn thee toward the right-hand of justice. Thy Lord beareth witness unto that which I declare.
