که من تاختم پیش نخچیرجوی
ز بهر پرستندهای گرمگوی
نگردد جوانمرد پرخاشجوی- bidō Gīw guft īn suxan xwadmigōyi
ki man tāxtam pēš-i naxčīr-jōyi
za bahr-i parastanda-i garm-gōyi
na-gardad jawanmard parxāš-jōyi - Giv responded : 'this is rubbish
since I was leading the hunters.
For the sake of a sweet-talking idolater,
it is not chivalrous to be so quarrelsome'
