Zalimkhan Yaqub
He Loved This Life
Translated by
Shahla
Naghiyeva
This smart man of common sense,
With sharp eyes, clear mind
Planted healthy seeds
in the world of
politics:
A question is hidden
on all
faces:
Is he a scholar, artist
or sculptor?
Speaking to the architect
the language of stone and brick
he uses.
In the presence of the sculptor
he speaks the language of
sculpture.
He sings songs
with the tongues of famous
singers.
On the highest peaks
he is snow.
