Adamzat, janaryna syiyp-kýlip,
Jalghannyng jayyn jýr em, jii úqtyryp.
Azghyndap kete me dep, adam qylsam,
Qúdayym jaratypty kiyik qylyp.

Tanyp al, tanyr bolsang eng darany:
Kiyik em, meken etken keng dalany.
... Aralmen bir tartyldy peyilderin,
Adamdar, ashamyz-au endi arany.

Kórkimmen serik bolyp san aryna,
Syidyrgham myna әlemdi janaryma.
Tilime bal bop tiygen kiyikoty,
Kózimnen aqqan jasym tamady ma?

Saulatqan kónilderden kýi-aghyndy,
Tekti edim, mór ghyp basqan túyaghymdy.
Úmytpa!
Mening atym – kiyik-kýiik,
Kórip qal, qúlap jatqan siyaghymdy.

Janyna kirip әli synalay mún,
Senderdi әli talay synar ai-kýn.
...Adamdar kinәli emes ólimime,
Salqyny úrdy deymin qúralaydyn!..

Súmdyqtyng qyzyl shoghy qozdaghanda,
Saryarqa!
Neng qaldy endi tozbaghanda?
... Tirilem bir kýnderi ruh bolyp,
Keng dalam saghynyshtan bozdaghanda...
