"Is this the ground where games are played, or is it a battle-field? Give way and let the Turks take the ball for once."
Siavash said this to his team-mates in Pahlavi, so that the Turk, Afrasiyab, wouldn't understand. I'd like to find out what exactly was said, according to Ferdowsi. In the original farsi Shahnameh text, is the verse translated into modern persian, or is it actually written in pahlavi script?
