هفت خوان اسفندیار
برآمد که شد نامور زان ستوه
جهان سربسر گشت چون پر زاغ
ندانست کس باز هامون ز راغ
ببارید از ابر تاریک برف
زمینی پر از برف و بادی شگرف

Description
After three days and nights of ceaseless snow and terrible cold, everyone in Isfandiyar’s army turned to prayer. Instantly the clouds blew away, and they gave thanks to God. Here, Isfandiyar’s followers prepare for the storm, warming themselves beside campfires and securing their tents. Most scenes in the Shahnama have no reference to weather. Either the sun shines or the stars twinkle in the sky. Here, however, the artist successfully conveys the sense of the beginning of a heavy snowfall against a gray sky
