15. I tell of his justice, 1 how it is upon the earth. Hot even to a 
crawling ant doth anyone (dare to) give pain. Hausherwan* was called 
< The Just,’ but even he was not equal to the justice of Sher Shah. 
He did justice like unto ‘Umar, 3 for the cry for justice to him was (spread 
over) the whole world. Ho one dareth even to touch a nose-ring lying 
fallen on the ground, (much less to pick it up and appropriate it). On 
the very highways do men sweep up gold. The cow 4 and the tiger walk 
together on the same road, and both drink water together at the same 
landing-ford. He straineth milk and water (mixed together) in his 
court, and separateth the one from the other. Sincerity marcheth with 
piety and justice, and the weak and the mighty he keepeth on even terms. 
The whole earth blesseth him, folding its hands continually, and 
crying, may that head endure immortal as long as there is water in the 
Ganges and the Jamuna. 
1 This reference to Sher Shah’s justice ( ‘adal ) may have a complimentary refer- 
ence to his son £ Adal. See J. A. S. B., Pt. I, 1890, p. 167. 
8 The celebrated king of Persia, surnamed ‘Adil, or the Just. He ascended the 
throne 531 A. D. He was the Chosroes of the Greeks. Muhammad (B. 671) used 
to boast of his good fortune in being born when so just a king reigned. He died 
579 A. D. 
S The second Caliph in succession to Muhammad. See note to 12, 9. 
4 Goru is properly any domesticated herbivorous animal.
