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:
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
