Poem by Bahadir Kele�

�k'u do �k'u biyat.
Ar vrosi dolobinborat.
Peyatepe ǰebvrosat.
Andǧani panda var bzirat.
Atxe do andǧani buntalat,
ar vrosi ndǧa dopčadat,
ha�ote ǰendǧani bovedat,
andǧani panda var bzirat.
Miti guri moǰebutinat.
Iri oropa mebuti�at.
Peyatoba�a bi�letinat.
Andǧani panda var bzirat.
Vrosoba dadala ren!
Peyatoba dačxurin!
J̌ebondziratna peyatoba,
di�valasen vrosoba...
