- Malqarnı ullu poeti Qaysın jaza edi nazmu. Halqına bıllay ullu qıyınlıq kelgende, anı igileri taqğan jırla, tawruhla, jomaqla, nart sözle da boluşa edile. Ala allay igi quwum etdirmesele, nege dep aytıllıq edile, nege dep kellik edile burundan bügünŋe deri?Kaysyn, the great poet of Balkaria, was writing verse. When such great hardship came upon his people, the songs, legends, tales and proverbs composed by its best ones were a help. If they did not make people hope for the best like that, what would they have been spoken for, what would they have come down for from olden times to this day?
