  • آن امیر دیگر آمد از کمین ** دعوی او در خلافت بد همین‌‌

  • از بغل او نیز طوماری نمود ** تا بر آمد هر دو را خشم جهود 700

  • The rest of the amírs, one after another, drawing swords of keen mettle,
  • هر یکی را تیغ و طوماری به دست ** درهم‌‌افتادند چون پیلان مست‌‌
  • Each with a sword and a scroll in his hand, fell to combat like raging elephants.

  • جوزها بشکست و آن کان مغز داشت ** بعد کشتن روح پاک نغز داشت‌‌
  • The walnuts (bodies) were broken, and those which had the kernel had, after being slain, a spirit pure and fair.
