Kuliev poems. "When trouble fell on me ..."
When trouble fell on me
And I walked along the father's edge,
Give your pain to me, said the water
Flowing down the mountainside.
The height told me: “Turn to the heavens,
And anxiety will melt in the heart ”.
"Calmly go, I will not betray you!" -
The road rustled softly.
"Look at my blue snows"
I could hear the mountain whispering to me.
“Lie down on the grass,” the meadows beckoned.
I lay down, and it became easier for me.
And everything became simple, and I suddenly realized -
I don't need another paradise
And only a road, but a river, and a meadow,
Yes, the sky of the native land.
When trouble fell on me ...
No matter how small my people are,
He'll outlive me anyway
And my land will be alive, the nest in which
And the white dove winds, and the black raven.
I believe that I will live as I lived,
My little family, whose courage used to be
And courage and strength returned
Me, who has lost the rest of his strength.
Wheat will ripen in the valleys,
As before, the plowmen will work,
And the moon will rise in the sky,
And on winter nights will dream
Spring is close to tired people.
And then let them put together other songs,
But still people, appreciating the past,
Those songs will be sung too, maybe
That they sang both with me and before me.
And what happens to you, my people, will not happen,
I know the native language will be alive,
The sound of which will last
My destiny and my short age.
With you, my people, your eternal debtor,
I have not been alone a day in my life
And he created his fleeting
Though not much, but all that I could.
No matter how small my people are ...

The heroes of Kuliev's poems were mountain workers: shepherds, blacksmiths, herdsmen. His poems about nature are distinguished by a combination of calm sketches of native landscapes and descriptions of the formidable elements of nature.

In the "Chegem Poem" (1980), the poet expressed his attitude to courageous fellow countrymen-toilers, told about the places he loved from childhood.
