“The last words of Shah Ismail Safavi; His concern for the future of Iran
The events of the final days of Shah Ismail’s life, as recorded in *‘Ālam-ārā-ye Safavī’*, are written as follows:
‘…From the pass of Khata to the pass of Halab, up to the banks of the Durna River, I brought all these lands under my control. I killed Shahi Beg Khan, the ruler of all Turkestan; and now I fear that all these hardships and efforts of our nobles may be wasted, for this son of mine may not be able to uphold the kingship of Iran…’
Shah Ismail’s mention of the name “Iran” clearly shows the antiquity of this name in the Safavid period and that he regarded himself as the Shahanshah of Iran.” @Turkoman98
