To The Azerbaijani Flag Poem
By Ahmad Javad Translated By Aynur Hajiyeva
Turkistan winds are whispering
their troubles to you,
Kissing you on your forehead, my flag!
Let the Black Sea send your three colors
As a gift to its friends, my flag!
I met you on my way to Turan,
Your shadow ever falling over my head!
Let the tears watering my eyes
Tell everyone of their grief, my flag!
You got your colors from Gayi khan,
Moslem beys have gotten older like Elkhan.
You, Elkhan’s descendant, stronghold of religion,
You brought delight into my soul, my flag!
I stepped forward, fierce winds in my chest,
I want to kiss the holy place
where your shadow falls!
The star of heavens, that beautiful fairy,
Has taken shelter in the moon in your lap,
my flag!
