Image title

Khusrau listening to Barbad playing the lute. (Inscription: over pavilion 'May this festive assembly be as rain to the garden and may the light of the countenance of the Shah be bright. From the dome of the heavens, as long as the sun and the moon exist, may the assembly be adorned with the person of the Shah'. Round the carpet: 'With the furnishing of your two eyes you make a bridal chamber of that dwelling. In every place you travel you wish to make the dust into a road there. How pleasant . . . with one another'). (Mirza 'Ali)
