aan qasr ki bahram daru jam girift
aañ qasr ki bahrām darū jaam girift
aahū bachcha kard-o-sher ārām girift
bahrām ki gor mī giraftī hama 'umr
ba-nigar ki che-gūna gor bahrām girift
They say the Lion and the Lizard keep
The courts where Jamshed gloried and drank deep:
And Bahram that great Hunter-the Wild Ass
Stamps over his Head, but cannot break his Sleep.
aan qasr ki bahram daru jam girift
aahu bachcha kard-o-sher aaram girift
bahram ki gor mi girafti hama 'umr
ba-nigar ki che-guna gor bahram girift
They say the Lion and the Lizard keep
The courts where Jamshed gloried and drank deep:
And Bahram that great Hunter-the Wild Ass
Stamps over his Head, but cannot break his Sleep.
