To Great Nizami

You Sheikh Nizami, Yusif’s son Ilyas,
Your Ganja is in front of my eyes.
And I am now full of emotions,
My sorrow to fill all four oceans.
Why a Turk to be your ‘best of best’?
No other nation in the East or West?
Why to love this much Turkic beauty?
To be fond of sublime Turkic glory?
If the only Turk you have is Appak,
Who you call not so Turk as Kipchak.
They say you were not a Turk!
Nizami from Ganja was not a Turk?!
Who can believe this nonsense?!
Must not he be out of common sense?!
If you could only rise again,
To hear those who on lies gain.
To see those whose best meal,
Is taking pleasure as they steal.
Those who are neither half hatters,
Nor they are excellent dockers.
I am sure you would say nothing,
Saying this way everything.
You Nizami is another world
With its own skies and earth.
Your clouds cry, and winds blow
Through eight centuries now.
Shouting that you are the son
Of glorious AZERBAIJAN.
