Notlar	The king's graffiti, from the Garden (Bustān), by Sa`di. The poet Sa`di tells this brief tale about Jamshīd, the mythical wise king from ancient Iran: the verses are written around the frame of this painting. While riding in the wilderness, the king stopped beside a flowing mountain stream. Inspired by its everlasting beauty, he wrote some lines of poetry onto the nearby rockface: “At this spring, just as I do today, many other kings have lived and breathed before my time, and they have passed on since then. We all seized the world by force, but not one of us could take it with us to the grave”. In this painting, the king's servants stand waiting, one of them holding his pencase and inkpot. In black ink on the rock, the king has already written the first words of his message “at this spring…” The king’s graffiti leaves a reflective message for future readers, who may also stop at this beautiful place and think about the temporary nature of power. Folio, ink, colours and gold on paper, Persian text in nasta`liq script, with painting (on recto), illuminated text frames and gold-painted light green borders, from the Garden (Būstān), by Sa`dī (d. 1291), painting attributed Muḥammad Sharīf, one of eleven paintings added into an older (c. 1570) manuscript for the library (kitābkhāna) of Hidāyat ibn Mīr Mu`īn al-Dīn Khwāja `Abd al-Raḥīm Juybarī (d. 1628), possibly at the dynastic Sufi shrine complex of Char Bakr, Sumitan, near Bukhara, Uzbekistan, dated (in CBL Per 297.16, by the same painter) 1025H, 1616.
