قَالَ
أَرَأَيْتَكَ
هَذَا
الَّذِي
كَرَّمْتَ

إِلَّا
قَلِيلًا

Said he, ‘Do You see this one whom You have honoured above me? If You respite me until the Day of Resurrection, I will surely lay my yoke on his progeny, [all] except a few.’
— Ali Quli Qarai
He said: "Seest Thou? this is the one whom Thou hast honoured above me! If Thou wilt but respite me to the Day of Judgment, I will surely bring his descendants under my sway - all but a few!"
