Three-year-old Asker1 (to my three-year-old grandchild)
 By Jabir Novruz 
 
As soon as he wakes up, 
He takes the gun,
My little grandson
Kills, slaughters the enemy every day.
He puts on asker's uniform, 
Puts on asker's cap, 
Stands at attention, ready, 
Like a real soldier. 
……………..
Suddenly he shouts at the top of his voice
"Hurrah!" he shouts with all his strength,
And he passes with victory 
Through Shushi, Khojaly.
My little asker 
Passes through Murov mountain
Kelbajar was freed from 
Fascist boots. 
My little brave spirit fights 
Instead of the grownups.
Fight, my little one, maybe the grownups 
Will feel ashamed seeing you.
Fight, my little hero,
Because sooner or later 
You should take not only Karabakh, 
But also lair of blood Yerevan.
