An eternal fort over Azerbaijan's mountains

You left and I cried tears of blood. My sorrow grows. Its not just that You left. But when You left my eyes went with You. Now, how will I cry?

Rumi

The countryside

Have patience. All things are difficult before they become easy.

Saadi

Immortal Fort

I have seen the king with a face of Glory, He who is the eye and the sun of heaven, He who is the companion and healer of all beings, He who is the soul and the universe that births souls.

Rumi
