In old Ra Gada days
 When Forebears came ashore
 Among them were sword-singers
 According to the lore

 At fore were Yaghoub's Thirteen
 Noble Ansei all
 One there was named Navid
 This song is of his fall

 Navid loved Sayeedeh
 Sayeedeh loved him not
 Her heart was pledged to Ihlqub
 The Thirteen's finest shot

 As Ihlqub plied his bow
 In practice on the beach
 Navid approached with empty hands
 Until he was in reach

 While Ihlqub faced the target
 Navid called up his shehai
 Slew his love's love with sacred sword
 And watched his rival die

 Back to Yaghoub's beachhead
 Went into his tent
 Fell for shame on his own sword
 Dishonor thus was spent
