I do talk and I do order.
That's my voice and that's my sentence. May Allah, just and wise, light my words and guide my will.
This infidel, unworthy of being a woman, wanted to kill my child, future Sultan of Karidi, and so, she wanted to kill Sultan of Karidi. She will be punished an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. She wanted to destroy a life, she'll pay the price. This abject woman will be branded eleven time with my own seal on her body. She'll be flogged eleven time with ten lashes of a camel whip. More-over I declare her womb is public. She'll be taken by all men of the Sultanat. She'll have to earn her daily water and her daily bread in this way. If she succeeds to have a child, she'll be granted. Her eyes will be gouged out, her tongue will be torn off, her sex will be sewn and she'll serve as a slave in the harem these blessed women who gave many things to the Sultanat. The male child will be under my protection and he'll have a long life. If she fails, she'll be impaled and her body will be given to desert jackals, vultures, hyenas and devils.
That's my first word. May Allah, just and wise, inspire my words.

There is, in that city, in my palace, a bad snake I thought he was my son. He paid the woman so that she destroys our loved ones.
For now, I denied this son. I could punish him but in my great magnanimity and because he has been punished by Allah Almighty, I let him free of quit our blessed Sultanat. He'll receive one thousand thalers. I want he disappears for ever.
That's my second word. May Allah, just and wise, inspire my words.
The male slave who saved my son and the mother of my son receives all my gratitude. He will be exempted from chores and his rings will be removed. A loincloth will be given to him and he'll devote himself to his mistress, Anissa. He'll be responsible of her life.
That's my third word. May Allah, just and wise, inspire my words.

About the mother of my futur son, Anissa with the fertile womb, I proclaim her Sultana of Karidi. She'll be for now on honoured with that name, in her palace, the harem of Ksar, I give it to her. Who offend the shadow of her steps, offend me and will be subjected to my anger. You'll obey Anissa with the fertile womb, Sultana of Karidi and you'll venerate her. Poets have to proclaim her name, Anissa with the fertile womb.
That's my fourth word. May Allah, just and wise, inspire my words.

That's my voice and that's my sentence. Allah, just and wise, inspired them.
May the desert wind bring my word to my beloved subjects. May Allah the merciful protect them and shower them with kindness. May water gush forth from their wells, pure, clear and fresh.
