   • c. 1180, Anwarī, “Qaṣīda 72”, in دیوان انوری [Dīvān of Anvarī]‎^[5]:

     درخت اگر متحرک شدی ز جای به جای
     نه جور اره کشیدی و نه جفای تبر

     diraxt agar mutaharrik šudē zi jāy ba jāy
     na jawr-i arra kašīdē u na jafā-yi tabar

     If trees could move about from place to place,
     They would suffer neither the oppression of the saw nor the torment of the axe.
