The poet, doctor of philological sciences, professor Famil Mehdi devoted about 50 years of his life to his people and the development of science and art. His voice was heard in auditoriums, at the scientific and theoretical conferences where serious discussions were held, at meetings with intellectuals, ordinary people, soldiers, from tribunes where the pulse of the time was beating and the fate of the people was decided.

Famil Mehdi, who was describing his poems as an autobiography, said: "My poems are my faith, my struggle, my pride, as well as my cowardice, my weakness, my helpless and my loneliness".

According to Famil Mehdi, who advised always to be strong-willed, if a person shows principle and finds courage in himself, he can even overcome death.
