The dead lie fallen; hear the news of them,
like wood cut down and laid low, above and below.
Whoever stays alive will keep on living;
you will not die until you are ruined and worn away.
Explanation: This is in a Gorani/Dilami dialect, so some words are uncertain; the reading follows the summary's theme of survival and life enduring until the body itself is destroyed.

مرده دیلم چو اویان نیوه بشنیر
بِبُر چویان دیلم به بر و ژیر
هر که ژیونده بو ببو اج اویان
نمیری تا که ویران و نبو پیر
