- Qoy endi, Aslan, kim kimge ne etgenin tergeb turmayıq. Majir harib uruş maydanından kelgenley, tört nemetsli tögeregibizden qurşalağanda, quşça jetib, alanı çaç-tük etib, bizni qutharğanıŋı esiŋe salırğa bolurma…Enough now, Aslan, let us not keep count of who did what to whom. When poor Mazhir had just come back from the battlefield and four Germans had us surrounded, you swooped in like an eagle, smashed them to pieces and saved us — shall I remind you of that…
