 Къакъмай бир де къанатын.
 Булут ярып ёл ача.
 Недир, билигиз атын?- Quş tügül, amma uça, 
 Qaqmay bir de qanatın.
 Bulut yarıp yol aça.
 Nedir, biligiz atın?
- It's not a bird, but it flies, 
 And it doesn't beat its wings either.
 It breaks its way through the clouds.
 What is it, do you know its name?
