Oh Khojaly!1
By Latifa Askerli
The Armenians 2 plundered our homeland,
Burned the Turkic people,
Drank their red blood like wine.
Oh! Khojaly, a victim of treachery,
They bled white the religion of Islam,
Mercilessly put out the eyes and brains,
Buried the bodies without a white kafan.
Oh! Khojaly, a victim of treachery.
I responded to the Call of Karabakh,
I came to the graves of frozen children,
I touched the topic of moaning Karbala,
Oh! Khojaly, a victim of treachery.
