O! You Great, glorious Kings, who have lived in our past

O! You Great, glorious Kings, who have lived in our past, 

You established, ruled vast empires, alas! none did last. 

words of the poem are conceived to be those of a woman from estakhr, being taken as a slave after the destruction of the city and massacre of it's male population in 649 a.d by the tazian. she rebukes, castigates, admonishes all the great kings for not being present to defend, protect and shield her today in her dire, woeful and grave hour.

O! Kurush, the emancipator of slaves, liberator of lands, 

Why do we still endure life with fettered tongue, hands?  

O! CYRUS, YOU LIBERATED SO MANY LANDS AND NATIONS. YET WE ARE BEING TAKEN IN SHACKLES TO LIVE AS SLAVES TODAY. Emperors Cyrus and darius in the carpet of the kings at niavaran palace.tehran

O! Daryush, your wings, pyramids to the Indus, a boon, 

Why was it, you were born, thousand years, too soon ? 

Emperor Darius. Behistun/Bhagsthan, the site where he fought the decisive battle against the medeans at the commencement of his reign. emperor Cyrus had dreamt of darius possessing wings on his shoulders, one spreading over asia and one over EUROPE.

O! Atossa, why do your son’s intrepid immortals sleep? 

Widows, orphans, Ctesiphon, Estakhr, Susa wail, weep.

WHERE ARE THE IMMORTALS TODAY? SHE demands, inquires. atossa was the wife of emperor darius and mother of xerxes. imperial regiment of javidan/ the immortals had 10,000 soldiers, IF one was killed, ANOTHER replaced HIM INSTANTLY. sculpture of Khashayarshah/ Emperor Xerxes. Muzay Bastan./museum of antiquities. Tehran.

O! Shapur, you vanquished so many emperors of Rome, 

Cave, you watch from, extinction, annihilation, our home. 

O! GREAT VICTOR SHAPUR, WHERE ARE YOU? no-one heaped more humiliation and mortification on the roman emperors than shapur. giordian was killed by his own men, philip the arab paid a huge tribute of 500,000 gold denarii and valerian was kept a prisoner BY SHAPUR AT HIS PALACE till the end of his life. IT SEEMS SHAPUR INHERITED SOME OF HIS FATHER'S KINDNESS, PITY, CHARITY. WHEN HE CAPTURED THE 70,000 ROMANS AT THE BATTLE OF EDESSA IN 260 A.D. HE WAS UNABLE TO HAVE THEM MASSACRED. THEY WERE RESETTLED IN KHUZESTAN. THE NINE METRE STATUE OF Shapur the great at Tang-e-Chogan. Bishapur near Shiraz.

O! Ardeshir, Bahram, Pirouz, no one steadied the helm, 

When your orphaned children lost the fatherland, realm. 

Bahram the second receives tribute from Arabs as Sassanian generals watch. Bishapur.

 O! Anushirwan, you heeded anguish of a humble cow, 

O! Parwiz, before whom, can we pray, supplicate now? 

Khosrow Anushirwan had a bell hung from his palace that a supplicant could ring AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY. once THE KING WAS WOKEN UP TO SEE, a WEAK, EMACIATED old cow WAS PULLING ON THE CHAIN TO RING it. the king ordered it's owner to let IT live it's life in the pasture, from where he had expelled it AS IT NO LONGER GAVE MILK. INSCRIPTION OF Khosrow Anushirwan the just.Tehran Courthouse.

Your absence in our days of greatest peril a cataclysm,  

Defenseless, unprotected, we slid into a pitiless chasm. 

Ardeshir-e-papekan receives the diadem of kingship from ahura mazda. UNDERFOOT LIE THE DEAD ARDVAN THE FOURTH AND AHRIMAN, THE EVIL. inscription at naqsh-e-rostam

Some could not homeland, ancestors renounce, forego, Others,horns of dilemma, reluctantly, unwilingly’d go.

 

Anahita’s smoldering fire sails East, a distant shore, 

King,vast, populous land assures exiles, fear no more. 

dismal, dispiriting, mournful hormozd island, from where zoroastrians sailed for india. the name is very apt, fitting as shah hormozd set in motion the tragic, regrettable sequence of events that destroyed the sassanians, paving the way for the tazian conquest of iran. IT WAS uncanny, eerie, CHILLING, even the executioner of khosrow parwiz had the name, hormozd.

Ardeshir receives kingship from Ahura Mazda. Koh-i-Mehr.

For prisoners of war, towns, homes, churches, hospitals, you made, 

Why will no saviour, rescuer, from the Koh-i-Mehr, come to our aid? 


Our soldiers, in their thousands, fall before the executioner’s blade, 

Unheard of savagery, inhumanity, with their blood, bread was made. 


Clergy, royalty, from righteousness, devotion, Ahura’s path, strayed, 

But we, with our way of life, home, honour, dignity, faith, name paid. 


O! Ahura Mazda, for deliverance, salvation, preservation, we prayed, 

Across deserts, we will be taken, sold, for slaves, we have been made. 


Shahryar Yazdgerd dead, Khorasan, by his own Marzban, betrayed, 

Rustam Farrukhzad’s head, on a stake, all to see, brutally displayed. 


O! Char Bagh of Pasargad, rivers of Fars, columns of Sadsetoon, 

I wonder, will we ever see you again? I fear, it won’t be very soon.  

First Char Bagh garden. Palace of Cyrus at Pasargad(Top). Middle; Shapur river. Bishapur.Fars. Bottom: Sadsetoon. 100 Column hall. Takht-e-Jamshid.

O! Char Bagh of Pasargad, rivers of Fars, columns of Sadsetoon, 
I wonder, will we ever see you agai

THE FIRST CHAR BAGH, 10,000 SQUARE METRES IN AREA SURROUNDED THE PALACE OF CYRUS THE GREAT AT PASARGAD. IT WAS DIVIDED INTO FOUR SECTIONS, HAD FLOWING STREAMS, FRAGRANT SHRUBS AND FOUNTAINS, THE CONCEPT OF THE GARDENS OF PARADISE. IT WAS TAKEN BY THE MUGHALS TO THE TAJ MAHAL AND HAS BEEN REPLICATED ALL OVER THE WORLD.

THE SHAPUR RIVER STARTS AT THE SPRINGS OF RANJAN AND PROVIDED WATER NOT ONLY TO THE PALACE OF SHAPUR AT BISHAPUR BUT THE TEMPLE OF ANAHITA, THE GODDESS OF THE HOLY WATERS.
