How the vizier killed himself in seclusion.

After that, he shut the door for other forty days

(and then) killed himself and escaped from his existence.

When the people learned of his death, there came

to pass at his grave the scene of the Resurrection.

So great a multitude gathered at his grave,

tearing their hair, rending their garments in wild grief for him,

That only God can reckon the number of them

—Arabs and Turks and Greeks and Kurds.

They put his (grave's) earth on their heads;

they deemed anguish for him to be the remedy for themselves.

During a month those multitudes over his grave made

a way for blood from their eyes (shed tears of anguish).
