    • c. 1011, Abu'l-Qāsim Firdawsī, “The Tale of Rustam and Isfandiyār”, in شاهنامه [Book of Kings]‎[1]:
      بخندید رستم بدو گفت شاه
      ز بهر خورش دارد این پیشگاه
      خورش چون بدین گونه داری به خوان
      چرا رفتی اندر دم هفتخوان
      bixandīd rustam bad-ō gūft šāh
      zi bahr-i xwariš dārad īn pēšgāh
      xwariš čūn bad-ēn gōna dārī ba xwān
      čirā raftī andar dam-i haftxwān
      Rustam laughed and told him, "Kings
      Hold court for the sake of the food.
      When you can have only this much food at a feast,
      Why did you bother to perform the Seven Feats?"
