بیاید ببندد به مردی میان
جهان زیرپای اندر آرد به تیغ
نهد تخت شاه از بر پشت میغ- az în du hunarmand pîlê žiyân
biyâyad bibandad ba mardî miyân
jahân zîrpây andar ârad ba têğ
nihad taxt-i šâh bar pušt-i mêğ - From these two cultured ones, a savage elephant
Shall come, binding manliness on his loins.
With his blade, he shall bring the world underfoot
And set the king’s throne atop the clouds.
