He summoned the king's messenger

Spoke many words with kindness

I am your servant, O king

I am obedient to whatever he commands

Tell him, though you are exalted

Your three sons are dear to you

A son is precious to the king

Especially one who is worthy of the throne

I accept whatever you say

I will judge by my daughter’s worth

If the king desires from me

Either the desert's riders or the throne of Yemen

I do not see myself lesser than my three children

At the time of necessity, I must be present

If this is the king's desire

It is not right to take a step without his command

By the king's command, these three children of mine

Will be given in alliance

Where I will see your three kings

Shining with crown and throne

Let all three come near me

My dark city will be illuminated

My heart will be joyous at their sight

I will see their awakened souls

I will see their just hearts

I will take their hands in protection

Then my three bright world-seers

I will hand them over in accordance with my custom

When they come to see them

I will swiftly send them back to the king

When the poet Jandal heard the response

He kissed the throne as was fitting

His lips full of praise from his court

He turned towards the world's king

He arrived and when he reached Fereydun

He told what he said and heard the response

The king of the world summoned his three sons

He brought them forth from concealment

He spoke of Jandal's journey and his own decision

He laid all the words purely before them

He said, 'This king of Yemen

The head of the assembly, the cedar with a shadow'

Had three daughters, pure as uncut gems

He had no son, his daughters were his crown

If Soroush finds brides like them

He will offer each of them a token of respect

For your sake, I asked their father

I arranged the necessary words

Now you must go to him

Make wise decisions in all matters

Be articulate and very wise

Listen carefully to his words

Respond to his words with kindness

When he asks, make wise decisions

For a royal offspring should

Be nothing but virtuous

Eloquent, clear-hearted, and pure in faith

Foresighted in whatever task comes before him

Adorned with the language of truth

Wisdom dazzled by wealth

Hear whatever I say from me

If you follow my words, you will prosper

The king of Yemen is perceptive

There is none like him in any assembly

All three sons are noble and pure

Their hearts set on their father's words

They came forth from Fereydun

They came full of knowledge and charm

What else suits the son

Who is raised like his father
