- Tanıdım, Batırbiy ulu. Alay, nasıpsız, harip abirek, bılay amanŋa qalırsa deb a turmay edim. Jüyüshan aq ofitser, askeri bolmağan ofitser, sizni künügüz bathandı.I recognized you, son of Batyrbiy. But, luckless, poor outlaw, I never expected you would come to such a bad end. Zhuyuskhan, a White officer, an officer without an army — your sun has set.
- Bar! Meni künüm batdı, Aŋılamaysa alğınça. Men kördüm seni janımça, Jüregim tohtap qalğınçı, Bar!Go! My sun has set, you do not understand as you once did. I saw you as my own soul, until my heart stops beating — go!
