II
The Moon blazed and blazed,
The heart buzzed with excitement
and set ablaze.
Its sorrow overflew and condoled.
Khayyam’s bowl of wine burnt
And Fizuli’s sorrow candle switched on,
Ashug’s saz and inspiration got fire!

...It burst into flame over and over...
And before my eyes
Stood crazy Melik.
I remembered him
And in my memory this night
Gara Melik passed over.

III
One day they saw
In the place of an extinguished fire
Melik was drowned in the ashes
From heel to head.
They pulled him up from eyes,
And from the heel
He didn’t come off,
And won’t come off.
Stayed unmoved.
His eyes stared at the sky,
And heels drowned into the ash.
They got exhausted,
Pitch darkness embraced all,
They drew the sorrow of Melik
