Na Kazbek
Language: Russian (Русский)
Na Kazbek sletelis` tuchi, Slovno gorny'e orly'... Im navstrechu, na skaly' Uzdenej otryad letuchij Vy'she, vy'she, kruche, kruche Skachet, russkimi razbit: Sled ix krov`yu kipit. Na xvostax polki pogoni; Zanesen i shty'k, i mech; Smert`yu seyotsya kartech`... Net spasen`ya v sile, v brone... ``Begu, begu, koni, koni!`` Pali vy', - a daleka Krepost` gornogo leska!`` Serdce nashix - russkix meta... Na kolena pal mulla - I molitva, kak strela, Do proroka Magometa, V more sveta, v nebo sveta, Poletela, poneslas`: ``Il`-Alla, ne vy'daj nas!`` Net spasen`ya niotkuda! Vdrug, po maniyu nebes, Zashumel dalekij les: Veyot, pleshhet, katit grudoj, Nizhe, blizhe, chudo, chudo!.. Musul`mane spaseny' Sred` lesistoj krutizny'!
