I do not chew a‘pán’.* This betel shop is out of order. The department under the steward is also not in order. Is this the ability and sagacity of superintendents that they keep, at every time and at every place, the departments under their charge in a proper order*? Till the superintendents display their ability and nice and good nature and all lookers-on-glory know order, given to us by God, and display their order and discipline, envious persons will be degraded. Alas! alas! we claim for piety; but all this is boasting. Truly, I swear by God, this claim is great and unreasonable.
According to my order, the reply, sent by A’akel Khán* to Mahábat Khán* regarding the erection of the fortress of the capital (i.e., sháh Jehàn Ábad), is an excellent one. A servant must be of this type. Thanks to God for His grace.
