   • c. 1011, Abu'l-Qāsim Firdawsī, “The tale of Suhrāb”, in شاهنامه [Book of Kings]‎^[1]:

     چو رستم برانسان پری چهره دید
     ز هر دانشی نزد او بهره دید
     و دیگر که از رخش داد آگهی
     ندید ایچ فرجام جز فرهی

     čū rustam bar ān sān parī čihra dīd
     zi har dānišē nazd-i ō buhra dīd
     u dīgar ki az raxš dād āgahī
     na-dīd ēč farjām juz farrahī

     When Rustam thus saw the fairy-faced one,
     He saw profit in each thing she made known,
     And also, since she brought news of Rakhsh,
     He envisioned no result save for glory.
