M5:2088 — کرده‌ایم آنها که از ما می‌سزید / تا چه فرمایی تو ای شاه مجید

This couplet is spoken by the palace officials who had maliciously slandered Ayaz, the King's trusted servant. They had conspired to find fault with Ayaz, expecting to discover him hoarding treasures, but instead found only a simple room containing his old shepherd's clothes. Their plot failed, and they returned empty-handed and deeply ashamed.

In this beyt, they are prostrate before the King, having realized the futility and injustice of their actions. 'We have done what was fitting for us to do' is a confession, not a boast. It implies: 'We have acted according to our base nature, driven by envy and suspicion.' They recognize their error and the King's supreme authority and justice. The phrase 'O Glorious King' (ای شاه مجید – Ey Shah-e Majid) is a plea for mercy, acknowledging his power and magnanimity, and implicitly contrasting it with their own ignoble behavior. They are entirely at his mercy, hoping he will choose forgiveness over punishment.
