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:
“To get a man soundly saved it is not enough to put on him a pair of new breeches, to give him regular work, or even to give him a University education. These things are all outside a man, and if the inside remains unchanged you have wasted your labour. You must in some way or other graft upon the man’s nature a new nature, which has in it the element of the Divine.”
—William Booth (1829–1912)
