This short work presents a poetic meditation on the downfall of Khosrow, a Persian king, and the cosmic and earthly reactions to his tyranny. It begins with celestial beings rejoicing at his fall, emphasizing that creation persists despite blasphemy against the Creator. The narrative intertwines mythological references, particularly to Heracles, illustrating themes of heroism and divine intervention. The text contrasts Khosrow's chaotic reign with the restoration of order by a noble general, highlighting the cyclical nature of tyranny and redemption. Ultimately, it calls for recognition of true virtue and the consequences of hubris.
