The poem "Black Sea" by Ahmed Javad, who enriched the Azerbaijani poetry of the 20th century with his poetic courage and discoveries, is one of the works that expands the limits of our artistic thinking to an unparalleled extent. In 1914, the poet, who was deeply moved by Turkey's participation in the First World War, expressed his admiration and love not only for Turkey, but for all Turks with an inspiration and passion rarely seen in artistic practice.
Çırpınırdın Qara dəniz
Baxıb Türkün bayrağına!
"Ah!..." deyərdim, heç ölməzdim
Düşə bilsəm ayağına.
