Smutjas', nachmurilsja prorok
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Smutjas', nachmurilsja prorok,
Slepca poslyšav približen'e:
Bežit, da ne derznët porok
Emu javljat' nedoumen'e.

S nebesnoj knigi spisok dan
Tebe, prorok, ne dlja stroptivych;
Spokojno vozveščaj Koran,
Ne ponuždaja nečestivych!

Počto ž kičitsja čelovek?
Za to l', čto nag na svet javilsja,
Čto dyšit on nedolgij vek,
Čto slab umrët, kak slab rodilsja?

Za to l', čto bog i umertvit
I voskresit ego — po vole?
Čto s neba dni ego chranit
I v radostjach i v gor'koj dole?

Za to l', čto dal emu plody,
I chleb, i finik, i olivu,
Blagosloviv ego trudy,
I vertograd, i cholm, i nivu?

No dvaždy angel vostrubit;
Na zemlju grom nebesnyj grjanet:
I brat ot brata pobežit,
I syn ot materi otprjanet.

I vse pred boga pritekut,
Obezobražennye strachom;
I nečestivye padut,
Pokryty plamenem i prachom.
