This is a recital of one of the letters' of our great ancestor— Amir Temur.
“Our forces are numerous, and our valour is vigorous; Our horses forward dash, our lances deeply gash, our spearheads like lightning flash, and our sabres like thunders crash. Our hearts are as the mountains strong, like sands in number our armies’ throng, and we among the heroes and Himyar’s kings belong. Our kingdom none can assail, our subjects from harm shall never ail, by our might our rule shall ever prevail. To him who makes peace with us will safety ensue, but he who makes war on us will repent and rue, and he who doth avow of us what he doth not know of us – he is a fool.”
-Letter to Sultan Barquq of the Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt
