Exalted son, how long will the old lady like Záhedeh Bánū* remain in a miserable plight? She has a claim on you and me. Her grandsons suffered punishment for their actions. Her rights should not be disregarded. You will remember how one day when the elephant of Fateh Jang Khán* máde an attack upon you, Mir Badhū* displayed bravery like Rustam* He restrained the elephant from fury. (But) he did not accept a robe of honour granted by me (and said), “I have done my duty as a man born in this house; and why should I accept wages (i.e. the robe of honour) for this?” For the sake of God and for my sake, eradicate the old (feeling of) revenge from (your) heart. Favour this old lady who has no kind man except you to shew kindness (to her). (Couplet) “Increase your kindness to the old members of your family, because those favoured by you will never prove faithless.”
