پرتاب • (partâb) (plural هاپرتاب (partâb-hâ))

   • c. 1260s, Jalāl ad-Dīn Mohammad Rūmī, translated by Reynold A. Nicholson, مثنوی معنوی [Masnavi-ye-Ma'navi], volume II, verse 1305:

     تیر را مشکن که این تیر شهی است
     تیر پرتابی ز شصت آگهی است‏

     tīr rā ma-šikan ki īn tīr-i šah-ē-st
     tīr partāb-ē zi šast-i agah-ē-st

     Do not break the arrow, for it is the arrow of a King;
     it is not shot at long range (at random), it is from the thumb-stall of One who knows (how to hit the target).
