In the name of the Lord of the sun and the moon, who illumined the human heart with the light of intellect and laid the foundations of reality and truth. He is the Sovereign of Mars, Saturn, and the radiant sun—the fountainhead of all glad tidings and the ultimate refuge of hope. Human thought falters before His matchless glory, leaving the soul to offer itself in silent devotion. Through His word, space and time unfolded, and the faint footprint of a tiny ant upon the dust bears witness to His boundless power. From the whirling sun down to the dark earth, and across wind, fire, and pure water, every element attests to His divine existence, bestowing cosmic wisdom upon the spirit. The Almighty stands utterly independent of all creation; viziers, treasurers, crowns, thrones, abundance, and hardship are but fleeting shades beneath His eternal sovereignty. He fashioned day and night, the rotating heavens, wrath and tenderness, slumber and sustenance; from Him flow all joy and grief. Yet amidst the endless wonders of the earth, the magnitude of Rostam of Zabulistan shines as an incomparable beacon—a hero whose deeds are inscribed upon the hearts of all humankind. He is the pinnacle of manhood and martial prowess, endowed with deep wisdom, foresight, and unyielding fortitude—a titan like an elephant upon land and a leviathan within the seas. And now, the ancient scroll is unrolled to recount the epic battle of Kamus of Kashan.
