Divan is important for its reflection on Azerbaijan’s literary position in the 19th century. Russian words along with Turkish, Arabic and Persian words can be found within the text. There is a duality within the text due to the dialect and its literary language. The work remains true to the original in order to reflect abovementioned characteristics.
