Song History

The play “Sheikh Sanan” by Javid is based on an Arab legend, well known in Azerbaijan. Fikret Amirov began to write music for a dramatic performance in the 50s [2] . This was Amirov’s first appeal to the Arab theme. Amirov created almost all the music for the play on Azerbaijani material and only in two or three cases attracted genuine Arabic melodies, but he sufficiently reworked them. This is how the popular song “The Blind Arab's Song” appeared [2] .

In 1961, at the studio of Azerbaijan Television, director Rauf Kyazimovsky a video was shot for the song entitled “ Song of the blind ". The song in the video was performed by Mammadali Aliyev . The film itself was shot in Icheri Sheher [3] . The song was also performed by People's Artist of the USSR Rashid Beibutov . People’s Artist of Azerbaijan Malekkhanym Eyyubova shot a video for the song.

In 2007, rapper Nado and Javid Huseyn synthesized Amirov’s music with rap and in this genre presented this song [4] . Arranged the song Azad Veliyev.

In 2012, at a festive event dedicated to the 130th anniversary of Huseyn Javid, the song was performed by the national artist of Azerbaijan Alim Gasimov [5] .

Nə eşq olaydı, nə aşiq,
Nə nazlı afət olaydı,
Nə xəlq olaydı, nə xaliq,
Nə əşki-həsrət olaydı.
Nə dərd olaydı, nə dərman,
Nə sur olaydı, nə matəm,
Nə aşiyaneyi-vüslət,
Nə bari-firqət olaydı.
Könüldə nuri-məhəbbət,
Gözümdə pərdeyi-zülmət ...
Nə nur olaydı, nə zülmət,
Nə böylə xilqət olaydı.
Nədir bu xilqəti-bimərhəmət, bu pərdəli hikmət?
Bu zülmə qarşı nolur bir də bir ədalət olaydı.
Tükəndi taqətü-səbrim, ədalət! Ah, ədalət!
Nə öncə öylə səadət,
Nə böylə zillət olaydı.


There would be no love, there would be no lovers
There wouldn’t be a moody beloved,
There would be no creatures, there would be no creator,
There would be no tears of mournful.
There would be no ailment, there would be no medicine
There would be no meanness (?), There would be no mourning.
There would be no lovers' nests
There would be no fruits of separation.
A ray of love in the soul
A curtain of darkness in my eyes.
There would be no light and darkness
There would be no such creations.
What are these cruel creations, unclear philosophies,
There would also be justice against this suffering.
No more patience, justice though, justice!
There would be no former happiness
None of this current oppression.
