From B1.12, Zal Hears of Nohzar’s Death. It illustrates B1.12.9–20 (to B1.12.21):

B1.12.9
They came to Zal in anguish and despair,Their faces gashed, dust thick upon their hair.
B1.12.10
They cried: “Our noble Shah, so just and wise!O crown of kings beneath the open skies!
B1.12.11
Protector of Iran, the realm’s strong stay,The chief of crowned men now has passed away.
B1.12.12
His royal head lies crownless on the ground,And royal blood’s own scent is all around.
B1.12.13
The grasses bowed before the Sun in shame,Each growing plant bent low before its flame.
B1.12.14
In him Fereydoon’s living sign was known,And earth served humbly where his hoof had flown.
B1.12.15
Before renowned men Nohzar lost his head;Now we must rise in vengeance for the dead.
B1.12.16
We draw our blades against Turanian pride,Renew the ancient feud and turn the tide.
B1.12.17
The heavens weep with us in crimson rain,Our sorrow bears witness to grief and pain.
B1.12.18
Let none withhold his tears or check his rage;For blood with blood must answer age to age.”
B1.12.19
The crowd wept bitterly with hearts afire,Consumed with grief and burning with desire.
B1.12.20
Then Zal himself tore garments from his frame,And sank to dust in sorrow and in shame.
