وَيَومَ نَهاوَنَدٍ شَهِدتُ فَلَم أَخِم

وَقَد أَحَسَنَت فيهِ جَميعُ القَبائِلِ

On the day of Nahawand I was present but did not waver

And all the tribes acted virtuously that day

عَشِيَّةَ وَلّى الفَيرُزانُ مُوايِلا

إِلى جَبَلٍ آبٍ حَذارَ القَواصِلِ

In the evening the Persian turned away defeated

Towards a barren mountain, fearing reprisals

فَأَدرَكَهُ مِنّا أَخو الهَيجِ وَالنَدى

فَقَطَّرَهُ عِندَ اِزدِحامِ العَوامِلِ

My brother, energetic and intrepid, caught up with him

And dispatched him when fates collided

وَأَشلاؤُهُم في وَأيِ خُردٍ مُقيمَةٌ

تَنوبُهُم عيسُ الذِئابِ العَواسِلِ

Their disjointed limbs lay in every ravine

Food for the vicious and famished wolves
