University Anthem
My Khazar University
Lyrics by Hamlet Isakhanli
(translated into English by Alison Mandaville and M. Lawry)
Music by V. Adigozelov and R. Mustafayev
From stately Baku on my Caspian shores
my Khazar University illuminates the world.
Lessons in poetry, the arts, and humanities
unlock the secrets of the universe, my Khazar University.
Embrace of life,
a pure place in my heart,
a warm hearth of best resolve:
this is my Khazar.
Fiery call of my youth,
from deep seas to lofty mountains,
a beloved flowering garden:
this is my Khazar.
A name renowned, sought throughout the land,
so many vows of love whispered in these arms—
my life fills with meaning; my soul strives for the summits;
inspiration’s bright spring overflows from my Khazar.

Famous quotes containing the word university:
“Like dreaming, reading performs the prodigious task of carrying us off to other worlds. But reading is not dreaming because books, unlike dreams, are subject to our will: they envelop us in alternative realities only because we give them explicit permission to do so. Books are the dreams we would most like to have, and, like dreams, they have the power to change consciousness, turning sadness to laughter and anxious introspection to the relaxed contemplation of some other time and place.”
—Victor Null, South African educator, psychologist. Lost in a Book: The Psychology of Reading for Pleasure, introduction, Yale University Press (1988)
