“The burning coals turned red,
What's gulped down won't come back.
The tiger is lurking in the high steppes, they say,
The Kyrgyz heart is pounding...
Will the Kyrgyz, locked up, now die, alas?
Will every one of our people become a Chinaman, alas?
Will it put fear in the heart, alas?
Will the ugly-faced dark Chinese,
Enjoy trampling us down, alas?”
― Manaschi

“لَكِ فُسْحَةٌ كُبْرى بِذاكِرَتي
فَتَحَفَّظي, أَرْجوكِ سَيّدَتي
لا تاجَ عِنْدي...لا قصور معي...
حَتّى تَكوني أَنْتِ مَمْلَكَتي
لا تُجْهِدي عَيْنَيْكِ بي فَأَنا
رَجُلٌ جِراحاتُ الهَوى لُغَتي
أُشْفى مِنِ امْرَأَةٍ بِإِمْرَأَةٍ
فَأَحُلُّ مُشْكِلَتي بِمُشْكِلَةِ…”
