1. I confronted the nobles, the persians' most valiant knights,
With every youth descended from a lineage of knights, beware!

2. I razed the persians' homes when I met them in battle,
Though not every man who faces wars is unflinching.

3. I detained the persians' riders and their army
In the fierce heat of battle, untiring.

4. With it I demolished the nobles, and the path suddenly
Reached a different end, through the gloomy nights.
