қилич чопишда ожиз бўлмоқ
Бир кун ғаним кишиси кўпрак келди. Хейли уруш бўлди. Ҳеч тарафдин ортуқсилиқ бўлмади. Бизнинг бир туғлуқ киши енгилрак ёниб хандаққа кирибтур. Баъзи Сайди Қаробекнинг туғи эди дедилар. Сайди Қаро, агарчи сўзига ўз эди, қиличиға забунроқ эди [82].
One day, a larger body of the enemy than usual advanced, and there was a very sharp fight, without any marked advantage on either side. Of my troops, one who had a standard, behaved ill, ran off, and got into the trench. There were persons who pretended to say that the standard was Sidi Kara Beg's; and, in truth, Sidi Kara, though most valiant in speech, by no means made the same figure with his sword [92].
Бир кун ғаним одамлари кўпроқ келди. Хийла уруш бўлди. Ҳеч кимга ғалаба насиб этмади. Бизнинг байроқдоримиз енгиллик қилиб ортга қайтиб хандаққа кирипти. Баъзилар Сайди Қаробек байроғи эди, дедилар. Сайди Қаро, гарчи сўзининг устидан чиқадиган киши эса-да, қиличга келганда кучсизроқ эди [80].
One day when they were in unusual force, there was much fighting but neither side had the advantage. Out of that engagement one of our men went rather hastily back into the entrenchments; he was using a standard; some said it was Sayyidi Qara Beg's standard who really was a man of strong words but weak sword [205].
