they decided to bury them in one grave and were given military burial with all the respect due to heroes.
When the Emperor heard of their death he ordered that their graves be revered fit for heroes who taught them the lesson of love, be it to a friend or to an enemy and the lesson on how to live.
The Aras River continued on its current, it was soon populated and an Ashegh with his Saz is to be seen on its bank, singing the beautiful poems of Nabi and Hajar. While on the other side of the border, people have not gotten over their death and even now, after one hundred and fifty years they are still being sung. Songs of Nabi and Hajar's heroism and love, each verse remained new in the turn of ages and transferred verbally from mouth to mouth. These verses became the favourite of every lover whenever they plead their love for each other.
A part of it reads:
My dear Boz At
I'll keep you in the best stables
And will put your heel in silver and gold
If you save me from this war
The sun is in the middle of the sky and
Nabi is riding Boz At, nobody can go faster than his horse…
Nabi twisted his dark moustache
His hat is full of enemies' bullets
Nobody can go faster than his horse…
**** **** ****
