Behold the conversions

Of an exalted seer,

The signs of good fortune

And omens of evil,

Behold the odd images,

Try to comprehend,

Behold and remember,

See and understand.

See, I am the black eagle

With golden wings,

I am the lord of the sky,

Terror of the field,

See, I take what I want

For I’m the one to rule,

See how I rejoice

Know that this is good.

See, I am the black snake

With golden head,

See, I am cut open,

See, I am dead,

See how my head falls

Chopped off by a sword,

Know that the bad luck

Is standing at your door.

See, I am a shaman

Saying words of might,

But Tengri stays silent,

His face is full of night,

See, I’ve gone astray

On a mountain trail,

Know that evil spirits

Are already on their way.

See, I am the Son of Heaven

Who reigns at dusk and dawn,

Behold my shining sword,

Behold my golden throne,

See the people bow down

Before my endless might,

I bring luck and victory,

I dispel the night.
