- Janım, jüregiŋi qıynama, ne qıyınlığıbız bardı? Mülkübüz, ırıshıbız qolubuzda, bir Allah, jaŋız kübür jamawum bla saw jerni başın satıb alırma, – dep, Minat jalğan-jalğan söleşdi."My dear, don't torment your heart, what hardship do we have? Our estate and our wealth are in our hands; by the one God, with just a scrap of my property I could buy up the whole face of the earth," Minat said, all falsely.
