Poems:
1. Poem: To Be a Turk
Author: Şahin Əliyev
My homeland is Azerbaijan,
My direction is Turan!
I am a son of the Turk,
Our faith is the Quran!
Our roots go back to Oghuz
Khan,
The bow and arrow are our rights!
Attila is our whip,
And justice is our guide!
Orkhon-Yenisei, sacred and
revered,
Is the temple of Göktürk, our pledge!
The culture of Timur the Great,
Is our Divan of wisdom!
Shah Ismail, my father,
Brought poetry alive!
Nizami’s symbol,
And the legacy of Osman Gazi thrive!
2. Poem: “How Happy
Is the One Who Calls Himself a Turk”
Author: Şahin Əliyev
“How happy is the one who
calls himself a Turk,”
As my glorious flag rises high.
Writing history with victorious battles,
We are born under the sound of Turan’s call!
“How happy is the one who
calls himself a Turk,”
From our ancestors, a legacy inherited.
Boundless between earth and sky,
We burn with the fire of independence!
“How happy is the one who
calls himself a Turk,”
Following the path of Göktürk fathers,
With strength like Mete and Teoman,
We overflow with love for the homeland!
Oh, brave ones, hear my
call,
Shout it aloud with pride,
“How happy is the one who calls himself a Turk!”
To our ancestral Ergenekon,
To our Red Apple quest,
Salute the gray wolf, savior of the great Turk!
3. Poem: My Karabakh
Author: Şahin Əliyev
Karabakh, you are the
heartbeat of hearts,
A light shining atop the mountains.
Each stone, each grain of soil is reborn from ashes,
A symbol of justice, a land of victory.
On your sacred soil I bow,
Sanctified with the blood of martyrs.
You have always stood proudly,
Now everyone is reunited with you.
You are free now, my
glorious land,
Your victory has added color to Azerbaijan.
With you, the sun rises every morning,
Your flag will never descend—proud and high.
Your Khari Bulbuls bloom
once again,
On the plains of Jidir, flowers and meadows thrive.
Karabakh, you are my eternal love,
Your greatest saga has now been written!
4. Poem: My Love for
the Homeland
Author: Şahin Əliyev
My homeland is full of
brave sons,
Azerbaijan with an ancient history.
Each stone, soil, and flower writes for me,
A tale filled with love and devotion.
Feelings in my chest flow
like a torrent,
My love for you will never end.
Even far away, the sound of my homeland,
Always adorns my heart with harmony.
In my eyes, you sparkle
like stars,
Every stone and inch of your soil is dear.
My homeland, you are my source of inspiration,
Even afar, my heart yearns for you.
A love unmatched, eternal
devotion,
My bond with you runs deep and true.
Every martyr and veteran makes you proud,
An everlasting connection we hold with you.
5. Poem: In the
Footsteps of Cyprus: The Story of Peace
Author: Şahin Əliyev
In 1974, a great saga was
written,
On July 20, it was etched into history.
With Turkey's decisive step forward,
For peace and justice, many martyrs and veterans gave their all!
It ended the unrest in
Cyprus,
The Turkish Cypriots' voices were finally heard.
Against oppression and tyranny,
The brave spirit of Rauf Raif Denktaş stands tall!
Stepping forward for peace
and defying war,
Bound by tradition, never surrendering Turkishness.
With hope for the Red Apple, a guiding light,
Cyprus in the Mediterranean is our eternal fortress!
A legacy of glory and
resilience,
Shaped by love for Turkishness and flowing blood.
Victory brought peace, sowed seeds of justice,
An eternal homeland engraved in our hearts.
6. Poem: I Am the One
Who Kisses the Tricolor Flag
Author: Şahin Əliyev
I am surrounded by
majestic mountains,
Carrying the traces of history in my veins.
In every valley watered by blood,
I am the one ignited with the love of freedom.
I am Babak’s,
Javan’shir’s, and Mubariz’s eternal love for the homeland.
With the determination of Ilham’s army,
I am the one who shattered a 200-year-old myth.
I am the proud gray wolf
who left a blessed signature in history,
I am also the Turk.
In the solidarity of my Azerbaijan,
I am the Talysh, the Lezgi, the Avar,
The Udi, the Tsakhur, and the Kurd.
In Karabakh, Zangazur, and
Tabriz,
I am the symbol of justice and peace.
In the heart that beats with the love of homeland,
I am the one who kisses the tricolor flag,
And raises it to the highest peak!
7. Poem: Khojaly
Genocide
Author: Şahin Əliyev
Khojaly is history,
Khojaly is bloody,
Its pages fill my glorious memory.
Khojaly is the moment when time stood still,
The delicate pattern of Azerbaijan’s tragedy.
Think of the day, February
26,
Defenseless people, pregnant women,
Children, elders, and the elderly slaughtered—
It is a violation of rights, a genocide it is.
Imagine a mother fleeing
with her child,
On a cold, frosty winter night.
Behind her, our treacherous enemies
Plunder and massacre with blazing weapons.
Think of the cruelty
before a child’s eyes,
As they torment mothers and sisters.
Peaceful villagers sheltering in a mosque,
Burned alive under bombardment.
When I think, my eyes fill
with tears—
Oh God, what pain is living through this?
The mere imagination of Khojaly’s innocent victims
Breaks a heart, leaving an eternal ache.
But we did not let their
blood go unavenged,
In 44 days, we claimed victory.
That innocent child who fled from Khojaly
Ensured the martyrs' blood wasn’t spilled in vain.
8. Poem: My
Azerbaijan
Author: Şahin Əliyev
Our history is filled with
struggles,
Javan'shir, Babak, and brave Mubariz.
The stone memory of the Turk is Cengi,
My heroic homeland – Azerbaijan!
Unity has always been your
goal,
For this, your soldiers have worked tirelessly.
With the victorious army led by Ilham,
Love for the homeland is – Azerbaijan!
With the “Iron Fist,” your
nation is united,
Behind you stands a strong state.
With steadfastness like Polad Hashimov,
Your generals are valiant – Azerbaijan!
Ancient is your culture
and heritage,
Shusha is the capital of your art.
Your mugham, your bayati, your soulful melodies,
A literary sanctuary – Azerbaijan!
Your voice echoes across
the world,
Bravery and heroism are your legacy.
Your heroic men have elevated your glory,
A legend told by all – Azerbaijan!
9. Poem: My Shamakhi
Author: Şahin Əliyev
With its mountains and
plains pleasing to the eye,
There is a land we call Shamakhi.
With its poetry capturing hearts,
We hold a history of brave heroes.
Sabir, Nasimi, Seyid Azim—
Their names are eternal, they will never fade.
In the literary history they left their marks,
We have many enlightened, free-spirited poets.
The people of this land,
tied to their language,
Will never bow their heads in defeat.
In our sacred and healing Shamakhi,
There are countless homes filled with the scent of martyrdom.
In the minarets, the
powerful call to prayer,
The world is drawn to this land with passion.
In homes, the melodies of mugham resound,
Songs sung by countless scholars and sages.
Among the stars in the
galaxy,
Azerbaijan is its eye, its breath.
For every home curious about the skies,
Our beautiful land draws them in time and again.
Words alone cannot
describe Shamakhi,
A historical trace etched in our hearts.
This land, like a flag, is our pride,
A great bond woven with love.
10. Poem: The
People’s Choice – Ilham Aliyev
Author: Şahin Əliyev
“Forward with Ilham!” the
people declared,
There’s no other chance, no other path.
With him, our prosperity rises,
An eternal sun is Ilham Aliyev!
Eternal unity is our goal,
The people and leadership are as one.
With him, our Karabakh is free,
A symbol of determination – Ilham Aliyev!
Our veterans paid with
their blood,
Our martyrs wrote history with their lives.
They will never be forgotten by our leader,
A trustworthy man is Ilham Aliyev!
Our voice has reached across
the world,
Everywhere, our admirers grow.
The Turkic world has become our home,
A global leader is Ilham Aliyev!
With a crescent and star
on our flag,
He kisses it and holds it close.
Strong with victory, firm with unity,
The people’s choice is Ilham Aliyev!
