- 1947, Suleyman Rustam, 12-ci tüfəng; reprinted as Süleyman Rüstəm. Seçilmiş əsərləri.[1], 2005, page 196:
- Qan ləkəli tüfəngi gətirdim Nərimana,
Məni sözsüz anlayıb ürəyi döndü qana,
Bax, həmin bu otaqda od saçıb nəfəsindən:
"Atamın qisasını alacağam, - dedi, mən..."- I brought him the bloodstained rifle
He understood me without words, his heart turning to blood
See, right in this room he breathed fire
"I will avenge my father", he said.
- I brought him the bloodstained rifle
