Levan (Georgian: ლევანი), also known by his Muslim name Shah-Quli Khan (born c. 1653 – 30 May 1709) was a Georgian royal prince (batonishvili) and the fourth son of the king of Kartli Shahnawaz (Vakhtang V). He was a titular king of Kartli in 1709.
In 1675, Levan was confirmed as a janisin (regent) of Kartli during the absence of his reigning brother, George XI (Gurgin Khan), at the Persian military service in Afghanistan. Summoned to Isfahan in 1677, he had to accept Islam and take the name Shah-Quli Khan. Thereafter he was appointed as naib of Kerman, Iran, and, as a commander of Georgian auxiliary forces, he secured the eastern provinces of the Persian empire from the rebellious Baluchi tribesmen from 1698 to 1701. For a short time in 1703, he was again a janisin for his absent brother in Kartli. As a reward for his military service the shah Husayn made Levan, in 1703, a divanbeg (chief justice) of Persia, and his son, Khusrau Khan, darugha (i.e., prefect) of Isfahan.
During his governance in Kartli, he patronised Catholic missioners in the Caucasus. He also encouraged scholarly activities in Georgia, and helped his cousin, Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani, to create a Georgian dictionary, which is still widely used in Georgia. Although officially a convert to Islam, Levan covertly remained Christian and composed the prayers to St John the Baptist, St Peter, St Paul and other Christian saints.
How many tears must I cry
Before your heart is satisfied
How many flames must I walk through
Before I make it up to you
I wanna ask now how much
Oh how much
Oh how much
Oh much does it have to hurt to make it right
Ive been a fool I confess
But I know in your heart you love me no less
Just tell me how bad must my body ache
Before I live down my one mistake
I keep wonderin how much
Oh how much
Oh how much
How much does it have to hurt to get back in your life
Just how much does it thrill you
To see me down on my knees
Don't you know I love you baby .... mercy please
I keep wonderin how much
Oh how much
Oh how much
Oh how much does it have to hurt to make it right
I wanna make it right
I keep wonderin how much
I keep wonderin how much
