Fariborz the brave prince charged forth like a lion from the Iranian ranks, riding impetuously toward Kolbad, the brother of Piran. With his bow notched, he sought to bring down his rival from afar; yet when the flight of his arrow failed to achieve his desired strike, he wasted no moment in hesitation. Drawing his gleaming right-handed blade, he raised it high and brought it crashing down upon Kolbad’s neck with terrible force, severing the Turanian warrior’s body in two down to the waist. Dismounting his steed, Fariborz unloosed his royal Kianian lasso from the saddlebow, bound the cleaved corpse of Kolbad securely onto the fallen warrior's mount, and remounted his horse. Ascending the high ground, he let out a triumphant roar, invoking victory for the commander Goudarz and despair for all enemies of the King.
