by Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837)

Zemlja nedvižna — neba svody
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Zemlja nedvižna — neba svody,
Tvorec, podderžany toboj,
Da ne padut na suš' i vody
I ne podavjat nas soboj[5].

Zažëg ty solnce vo vselennoj,
Da svetit nebu i zemle,
Kak lën, eleem napoennyj,
V lampadnom svetit chrustale.

Tvorcu molites'; on mogučij:
On pravit vetrom; v znojnyj den'
Na nebo nasylaet tuči;
Daët zemle drevesnu sen'.

On miloserd: on Magometu
Otkryl sijajuščij Koran,
Da pritečëm i my ko svetu,
I da padët s očej tuman.
