Hurmizgan riman, Atiran kujan
Wishan Shardewe gewrey gewrekan
Zorkar ereb kirne xapûr
Ginay paleyi heta Sharezûr
Jin u kenikan we dil beshina
Mêrd aza tli we ruy hwêna
Reweshti Zerdeshtre manuwe bekes
Bezeyika neka Hewrmez we hwichkes.
  • English translation:
The temples destroyed, the fires were turn off, (killed)
the greatest of the sirs hided himself
Cruel Arabs destroyed
The villages of poor peoples till Sharezur
They enslaved girls and women
brave men dived into their blood
The Zoroastrianism lost its followers
Ahuramazda felt pity on no one.
  • Arabic transliteration:

هورمزگان رمان، ئاتران کوژان

ویشان شاردوه گه‌وره‌ی گه‌وره‌کان

زۆر کار ئه‌ره‌ب کرنه‌ خاپور

گنای پاله ئی هه‌تا شارزور

ژن و که‌نکیان وه دیل به‌شینا

میرد ئازا تلی وه روی هوێنا

روشت زه‌رده‌شتره مانوه بی که‌س

به‌زه‌یکا نیکا هورمز وه‌ هویچ که‌س
