Example text

Excerpt from an old Persiran poem "Svira Mazel" translated into modern Persiran:

• Printje emeržoje et fil pjeta avec ševješ ora v'astijosk danškoje massa don šovëm greta. Viski-vi, ola vloje vom jaškot. Olaëv sju etroje rje de solejt et ola riëje avec mënt sofija d'atjav, relaška tusk oj askju sviruš massa tru d printeëv sënt. Šok ovojej olaëv adzornmintuv, dečira ov ševuš brija.

  • ​Spring arrived and a little girl with gold hair that shined danced beautifully in a grassy field. All around, she flew like a bird. Her tail was a ray of sunlight and she laughed with a great amount of happiness, releasing suddenly very beautiful flowers of spring's glow. Each became her adornment, decorating her shiny hair.
