      Ýüregimde ençe pygan,
      Gözden akdy bulaklap gan,
      Syrdaş imes pelek-döwran,
      Gaçsam diýp, mazar gözlär men.
      In my heart there is so much lament,
      From my eyes blood flows like a spring,
      Fate and providence are no confidants to me,
      Longing to flee, I search for a grave.
