  • Qıyamıt, efendige aylanıp, aytdı: «Köremise jarı tonlulanı, biri burulub qaramay, çaçılıb ketdile. Ne deseŋ da, kesi adamıŋ başhadı».Qiyamit turned to the efendi and said: “Do you see these poor wretches — not one of them so much as looked back, they scattered and were gone. Say what you will, your own kin are something else.”
