- c. 1011, Abu'l-Qāsim Firdawsī, “The Tale of Rustam and Isfandiyār”, in شاهنامه [Book of Kings]‎:
  بخندید رستم بدو گفت شاه
  ز بهر خورش دارد این پیشگاه
  خورش چون بدین گونه داری به خوان
  چرا رفتی اندر دم هفتخوان
  bixandīd rustam bad-ō gūft šāh
  zi bahr-i xwariš dārad īn pēšgāh
  xwariš čūn bad-ēn gōna dārī ba xwān
  čirā raftī andar dam-i haftxwān
  Rustam laughed and told him, "Kings
  Hold court for the sake of the food.
  When you can have only this much food at a feast,
  Why did you bother to perform the Seven Feats?"
  (Classical Persian romanization)
