Here is a sample of some of the Bakhtiari verse that Lorimer collected and translated:
- I heard that a big camp put down (their) loads at Lushter
- Spring has come, the time of sheep-shearing
- Sitara with the velvet tresses : there are pearls on her neck
- I love my bobtailed grey as much as my brother
- O sister mine, for my dear sake cut from your head the plaits again
- She pulled up her trousers and struck into the Chulwar stream
- She pulled up her trousers and struck into the Chulwar stream
- O my Friend in the Hot Country, what do you wish me to bring you?
- The Ballad of Abdu Khalil
