- c. 1010, Abu’l-Qâsem Ferdowsi, “Manuchehr”, in Shâhnâme:
  ‏ازین دو هنرمند پیلی ژیان
  بیاید ببندد به مردی میان
  جهان زیرپای اندر آرد به تیغ
  نهد تخت شاه از بر پشت میغ‎
  az în du hunarmand pîlê žiyân
  biyâyad bibandad ba mardî miyân
  jahân zîrpây andar ârad ba têğ
  nihad taxt-i šâh bar pušt-i mêğ
  From these two cultured ones, a savage elephant
  Shall come, binding manliness on his loins.
  With his blade, he shall bring the world underfoot
  And set the king’s throne atop the clouds.
