B12.6.8
Some Turanian youth, like raven black,Has blocked the road and holds our army back.
B12.6.9
In Gudarz’s sons I see no good today;Their self-willed deeds bring harm to our array.
B12.6.10

B12.6.13
I need a warrior fearless, fierce, and bold,To climb that height and do as I have told.

Bring me his severed head before my sight,Cut with your khanjar on that mountain height.”

Then Rivniz quickly girded for the fight,His doom drew near him on that fatal night.
