- به پیری بسی دیدم آوردگاه
بسی بر زمین پست کردم سپاه
تپه شد بسی دیو در جنگ من
ندیدم بدان سو که بودم شکن- ba pīrī basē dīdam awardgāh
basē bar zamīn pušt kardam sipāh
tapa šud dēw dar jang-i man
na-dīdam bad-ān sō ki būdam šikan - In my old age, many battles have I seen;
Many armies on the earth have I put to rout.
The demons became a hill in my war,
I have not seen myself likewise defeated.
- ba pīrī basē dīdam awardgāh
