Sakvarlis saflavs vedzebdi, 
Ver vnakhe dakarguliko, 
Gulamoskvnili vtirodi: 
"Sada khar, chemo Suliko"! 

Ekalshi vardi shevnishne, 
Oblad rom amosuliko; 
Gulis fanckalit vkitkhavdi: 
"Shen khom ara khar, Suliko" 

Sulganabuli bulbuli 
Fotlebshi mimaluliko. 
Mivekhmatkbile chitunas: 
"Shen khom ara khar Suliko" 

Sheifrtkiala mgosanma, 
Kvavils niskarti sheakho, 
Chaikvnes-chai chikchika, 
Titkos stkva: "diakh, diakho"!
