Շատ յուզիչ ու գեղեցիկ գրուած է։ Կը սպասեմ, որ նոյն դիւրութեամբ հայերէն ալ գրես, որպէսզի Սեւան երբ մեծնայ նաեւ հայերէն գրածներդ կարդայ։ Վստահ եմ որ կրնաս։ Ապրիս։ ՎԱԱ
Beautifully written.

Քուն եղիր բալաս, աչերդ խուփ արա,
Նախշուն աչերուդ քուն թող գայ վրայ :
Օրօր իմ բալաս, օրօր ու նանի,
Իմ անուշիկիս քունը կը տանի:
Դուն ալ քուն եղիր, ինծի ալ քուն տուր,
Սուրբ Աստուածամայր, անուշիս քուն տուր:
Օրօր իմ բալաս, օրօր ու նանի,
Իմ անուշիկիս քունը կը տանի
