     باش قوشمان‌دور آریق آغساق شاه بیله
     آتدیریب دوکون‌بیل ساری یای بیله
     شیروان
     قلعه‌سی‌دور آنی کیم بیله
     هر بورجده آلتون بایداخ‌لاری بار

     Şirwan galasydyr, any kim bile,
     Her burçda altyn baýdahlary bar.

     The frail and the lame do not stand beside the king,
     With yellow knotted bows, arrows are loosed,
     It is the fortress of Shirvan, known to those who know,
     At every corner, there are golden banners.
