     نفسینک آیدار اورغین بو بر حضوردور
     جانینک آیدار حی دور تانکری حاضردور
     سن کورمسنک الله سنکا ناظردور
     اوتانغین ایمنکین قویغین بو ایشی

     Nebsiň aýdar: "Urgun, bu bir hözirdir!"
     Janyň aýdar: "Haý, dur, Taňry häzirdir!"
     Sen görmeseň, Alla saňa nazyrdyr,
     Utangyn, eýmengin, goýgun bu işi!

     The ego says: “Go on, this is only pleasure!”
     The soul replies: “Wait! God is present!”
     Though you may not see Him, God is watching you,
     Be ashamed, be afraid, abandon this deed!
