   • 18th century, Molla Panah Vagif, Ola:

     Hayası üzündə, əqli başında
     Öldürə Vaqivi gözü-qaşında
     Ya on üç, ya on dörd, on beş yaşında
     Nə ondan böyükrək, nə uşaq ola.

     [poetic interpretation by GPT-4:]
     Upon her face, a bashful hue, in her thoughts, wisdom imbued,
     Her eyes and brows, a potent glare, with which my soul, she might ensnare.
     A fleeting age, where childhood wanes, yet womanhood has not yet gained,
     In tender years, a balance maintained, from thirteen to fifteen, suspended there.]

     (literally, “Bashfulnes in hear face, reason in her head
     She could kill the learned with her eyes and eyebrows
     She should be thrirteen, fourtieen or fifteen
     Neither older than that, nor a child.”)
