MY TABRIZ
You are an old city, the very history itself
You have greatness, great Tabrizim
In your blood is a volcano, the eye of Sahan
Your white forehead is full of stars, Tabrizim
The shore of love, the sea of love
Wings of desires, the dream of souls
What is the world of Turks without you?
You are the arm that lifts you up, Tabrizim
Sattarkhan is strong, Shahriyar is eloquent
You are a garden of gardens, with mirrored eyes
Your name is the essence of an unquenchable hearth
You paved the path with silk, Tabrizim
You are an impregnable fortress, an invincible army
Saz is the anchor of words, the land of delicacy
You have the immortal gray wolf of the Turks
Your left, which is visible from your right, Tabrizim
Your deer-filled trench, your Erkin, your Erkan
Your blood is red, silver, and red
Your son Ismail, the Crowned Turk
Tabriz, the lake of the kings, is a place to visit
You are the eager soul of Azerbaijan
You are the warmth of your unquenchable soul
Your excitement is tied to your hand
I am Elman, the flower of my poetry, is my Tabriz.
