“Pey e ŝirân gereftan va rân e gurân xordan” is one of the ancient Iranian proverbs whose some of the forms have been quoted in primary resources of Arabic proverbs. By the way, its concept is also applicable to the Quranic verse. It is not so practical today, but in the past, it has been used in many texts, in agreement with the subject and in various fields. We have identified it in Persian literature of the 4th century by investigating different types of sources. Furthermore, we have found the proverb containing the same elements as “ŝir” (lion) and “rân e gur” (the thigh of Zebra), whose meaning is different from the meaning of this proverb. Subsequently, we have introduced another proverb centered on "crow" whose meaning is the opposite of the present proverbs.
