ختمت بك العجم الملوك وراجعت

بك تاجُ ملكهم القديم المنهجِ

With you the Persian kings have reached their end, and

Through you their ancient crown has been restored.

لم يفقدوا بك أردشير وإنما

فقدوا نقيصة دينه المستسمجِ

It was not Ardashir they lost in losing you,

But the flaw in his unsound religion.
