Mert ölüm

Çarkandak ýa dar ýol saklamaz ölmi,
ondan gowşak-güýçliň basylar howy.
Ahyrda ýaş, garry ýatar bir ýerde,
utançly ýaşandan mert ölen gowy.

Şota Rustaweli

A narrow road cannot keep back Death, nor a rocky one;
by him all are levelled, weak and strong-hearted;
in the end the earth unites in one place youth and greybeard.
Better a glorious death than shameful life!
