The headquarters of the Caucasian Islamic Army, which came to Azerbaijan’s aid, was situated in Ganja. Muhammad Hadi, present in Ganja at that time, warmly welcomed their assistance to Azerbaijan and composed the poem “To the Heroic Turkish Soldiers” in 1918.
Bold we stand with hearts unafraid,
Sons of soldiers, forever brave.
A Turkish son flees not from strife,
Zealous souls, knights in life.
Turkish nation, Turkish land,
Through the dark, we take our stand.
Grateful for the light we’ve won,
Turk’s newfound strength, by God’s sun.
