      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

      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 [of corpses] in my war,
      I have not seen myself likewise defeated.
      (Classical Persian romanization)
