When will it be that a courier comes from India,

saying that:

A man should be dispatched, a clever interpreter,

Who may go and tell to India,

What we have seen from a group [coming] from the Arabian
plain

[Who] weakened the religion and killed our king of
Kings, and he who (was) Aryan.

They hold the religion as Demons, and eat food like dogs.

They have taken away the sovereignty from the renowned
(Persian kings),

Not by virtue, nor by valour,

But in mockery and scorn (like demons).

By force they take away from men

Their sweet-hearts and sweet possessions, parks and gardens.

Capitation-taxes they have imposed, they have distributed them among their leaders.

They have demanded again the tribute, a heavy impost.

Consider how much evil that Lie has cast upon this world

Than which evil there is none worse in the world.

From us shall come that king Vahrām,

Of the marvellous power, from the Kavi line:

When will it be that a courier will come from India, (To say) that:

“That king Vahrām is coming from India.
He has a thousand elephants, and is chief upon chiefs [and] victor,
He has a raised banner, in the manner of the kings,
and bears it before the army like generals?”

A man should be dispatched, a wise and intelligent one,

who may go and tell to India,

what we have experienced.

Our kings made battles with the Arabs and Turks, against “Rome” and China, and with the giant demons; and [the enemies], defeated, accepted the good and pure Religion, the worship of the Yazata and Holy Immortals and that of the red and burning Fire. And from the time of the immortal-souled Zaraθuštra of Spitāma the pure Religion was prevailed for one thousand years. But now the Arabs, these eaters of rats, [have come], they have the temperament and character of the serpents,

and eat the food like the dogs.

They have taken away the sovereignty from the Persian kings,

not by virtue or valour, not by force of wisdom,

but in scorn and unlawfully, they have taken it away.

For nobody before had taken it away with such brutality.

They follow the teaching of the demons, and they themselves [are] demonic. They spread the Evil and unjust Law in the world, and they hide the Good and the just Law. They are adroit in sinfulness. They approve more the criminals. They do not have the fear of hell or punishment in their heart. Prostitution and whoring are current among them. They despise the pure religion, good deeds and justice. The dispute and revengefulness and mockery and scorn and oppression have been spread. We [only] in the hope of the advent of Vahrām the forceful endure this oppression and persecution with contentment; [but] at the time [when he will come], with the strength and help of Ahura Mazdā and the Holy Immortals shall we eradicate all the enemies of Religion, evil-minded ones, and idol-worshippers. The world then will be totally purified from evil and idolatry; and the pure religion, righteousness and truthfulness will be propagated. Deo volente.

Finished.
