    • early 11th century, Abū-l Ḥasan Alī b. Jūlūğ Farrukhī Sīstānī, translated by Julie Scott Meisami, "The Persian Qasida to the End of the 12th Century" (1996), دیوان فرخی [Divān of Farrukhī]:
      نه از خواری چنان بگذاشت او را، ندارد کس چنو فرزند را خوار، ولیکن خواست تا شاهان بدانند، که او بیکس هنر آرد پدیدار.
      na az xâri čonân begzâšt u-râ, na-dârad kas čonân farzand-râ xâr, valikân xâst tâ šâhân be-dânand, ke u bikas honar ârad padidâr.
      He did not leave him [behind] thus out of contempt, for no one holds such a son in contempt. Rather, he wished that kings might know that he, without [anybody's] help, would make his skill apparent.
