c. 1011, Abu'l-Qāsim Firdawsī, “The Tale of Rustam and Isfandiyār”, in شاهنامه [Book of Kings]:بیفشارد چنگش میان سخن
ز برنا بخندید مرد کهن
ز ناخن فرو ریختش آب زرد
همانا نجنبید زان درد مرد- biyafšārd čang-aš miyān-i suxan
zi burnā bixandīd mard-i kuhan
zi nāxun furō rēxt-aš āb-i zard
hamānā na-jombīd z-ān dard mard - He pressed his hand hard as he spoke,
But the ancient man smiled at the youth;
Yellow gall dripped down from his fingernails,
indeed, the man never jolted from the pain.
