- 1920s—30s, Mohammad Farrokhi Yazdi, دیوان فرخی یزدی‎:
  ما تکیه به قائدین ناشی نکنیم
  وز مسلک خویشتن تحاشی نکنیم
  چون بت شکنی مرام دیرینه ماست
  این است که تازه بت تراشی نکنیم
  mâ tekye be qâ'edin-e nâši na-konim
  v-az maslak-e xištan tahâši na-konim
  čun bot šekani marâm-e dirine-ye mâ-st
  in ast ke tâze bot tarâši na-konim
  We do not depend on unskilled leaders,
  Nor do we shy away from our own path.
  Since idol-breaking is the ancient hope of ours,
  It is such that we do not carve idols anew.
