“چو ايران نباشد تن من مباد
بدين بوم و بر زنده يک تن مباد
بيا تا همه تن به کشتن دهيم
مبادا که کشور به دشمن دهيم
دريغ است ايران که ويران شود
کنام پلنگان و شيران شود”

“سر تخت شاهان بپیچد سه کار
نخستین ز بیدادگر شهریار
دگر آنکه بی مایه را برکشد
ز مرد هنرمند برتر کشد
سه دیگر که با گنج خویشی کند
به دینار کوشد که بیشی کند”
