Dilbarname: The Love Story of Dilbar Akhundzadeh and Mikayil Mushfig

She heard of him previously; after all, he was one of her uncle’s closest friends, and he used to talk about Mikayil, but this was their very first meeting. Was that destiny or accident? He sat behind her. Her dense, abundant, long hair in thick tresses would turn out to be darts of love: while unleashing her hair back, it touched his face - the poet's heart surrendered without any struggle.
