From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aprin Çor Tigin was a 6th-century Turkic poet. Tigin's Uyghur language poems are the earliest Turkish poems that have survived to the present day.[1] One surviving stanza from "Love Poem" follows:[2]

May the gods of light grant me this bliss:

I hope my soft and gentle darling and I Can join our lives forever. Mighty prophets, give me power So that my black-eyed sweetheart and I

Can live and laugh together.
