  نهاد آن سرش پست بر خاک بر
  همی خواند نفرین به ضحاک بر
  همی آفرین خواند بر کردگار
  بر آن شادمان گردش روزگار
  nihād ān sar-aš past bar xāk bar
  hamē xwānd nifrīn ba zahhāk bar
  hamē āfarīn xwānd bar kardigār
  bar ān šādmān gardiš-i rōzigār
  She bowed her head low on the earth,
  Reciting curses on Zahhāk,
  Reciting praises for the Creator God,
  [And] for the happy turn of events.

  اندر آمد شادمان در راه مرد
  بی‌‌خبر کان شاه قصد جانش کرد
  andar āmad šādmān dar rāh mard
  bē xabar k-ān šāh qasd-i jān-aš kard
  Blithely the man came into the road, unaware that the king had formed a design against his life.
