Azerbaijani carpets / TABRIZ GROUP
In the gaps of the main border, there are images of trees decorated with flowers
and leaves. The minor border, encircling the main border, is surrounded by a narrow
brown madakhil filled with vegetal elements.
The carpet has an artistic, historic, and scientific importance. It was woven with
naturally dyed yarn. Its wrap and weft are made of cotton, and its pile is woolen. The
carpet is in good condition. The carpet’s loom is beige and its fringe is four centim-
eters with a thickness of 70x80.
Your beauty encouraged me
as a young man.
The earrings hanging on
your ears amazed me.
You are covered with bronze
and gold and my face
blushed as if it is covered
with roses.
It is enough to praise you
so much. I present you the
praise itself. I see the hap-
piness in your face and in
myself too.
You made milk out of
honey for me. I saw no
guilt in this.
Your great love made me fall
in love with you; I wonder
what my fault is.
You left me on the ground
and took a seat in the skies.
I wouldn’t claim to be
more superior or to have
more tender and better
speech than you.
As I am after all your guest,
why wasn’t our love suc-
cessful?!
It wasn’t supposed to be
like this; we could have
lived together...
Shirin said to Khosrow:
“I wish you were rich and
wealthy forever”.
May God always help
you. May you live like
a shah and a lion in this
world.
The parted with each other
in an uproar.
We would like you to think
well of us all the time and
wish goodness to us. You
wouldn’t think of us in any
other way.
I expect everything form you,
want you to see me when
rising to the skies like a storm
one day.
You deserved to be shah
from the start. That is why
you ascended the throne and
became a shah.
