Nazar Najmi (Nazhmetdinov Nazar Nazhmetdinovich) was born on February 5, 1918 in the village of Minishte, Birsk district, Ufa province (now Dyurtyulinsky district). The path of a boy from a poor peasant family to great literature is remarkable. He is somewhat similar, but somehow not similar to the path of his peers. Having received a seven-year education in an ordinary rural school, the young man Nazar leaves his native village of Minishty, which is on the picturesque coast of the beautiful Agidel, and arrives in Ufa. Here he enters the workers' faculty, after which he becomes a student of the literary faculty of the Bashkir Pedagogical Institute.
Nazar was finishing his third year at the institute when the war broke out. And soon the aspiring poet puts on a soldier's tunic, leaving the student's bench for a while. He was destined to finish the university only after the Victory. But the war did not go unnoticed for him. It served as a severe school of maturity, a school of knowledge of life. Later, having passed along the long and dusty, difficult and bitter, but victorious roads of the war, the poet Nazar Najmi will say in the poem "Desire":
Creativity is a soldier's road
Let my song serve the country
Just as honestly, flawlessly, strictly,
How the tunic served me (Translation by K Vanshenkin)
But that was later, after the war. During the war, Nazar Najmi had no time for poetry. In the first days of the war, he speaks on the Bashkir radio with the poem "Fascism will shatter into dust." But soon, being away from his native places, he falls silent. This state of mind continued for about four years. Only at the end of the war did he write 17 poems, which are usually given in his collections called "From the Front Notebook." Poems that occupy a prominent place in creative biography poet and testifying to the fact that it is in them that Nazar Najmi begins - the drawing of his own poetic face and the formation of his own style. To put it in the words of the poet himself, the period of the war was for him a time of gaining the ability to be surprised and gradually filling the soul.
After graduation, he long years worked in republican newspapers and magazines, as a special correspondent traveled to the cities and towns of his native Bashkortostan, met interesting people, saw and studied the creative work of fellow countrymen with his own eyes, wrote exciting essays, stories, poems about them. And by the time the first collection came out, the author was over 30 years old.
The creative fate of Nazar Najmi did not develop quite normally - not like the others. In an essay addressing the famous Bashkir poetess Fauzia Rakhimgulova, he says that they did not manage to flare up suddenly and burn with a bright flame, but had to painfully long, almost gropingly climb along the unexplored paths of literature.
The thought of the protracted nature of entering the literary arena also flickers in individual poems by Nazar Najmi, which, one might argue, constitute his lyrical biography. In the poem “Everything belatedly came to me ...”, for example, the poet, with his characteristic frankness, admits:
I haven't fully resolved it yet.
The mystery of life and its ways ...
Wherever I go, no matter how fast -
He always lingered on the doorstep for a long time.
As if I had achieved my goal,
But I'm waiting for something, I'm in a hurry somewhere.
All belatedly came to me:
I know I was born too early.
Reading Nazar Najmi, one often comes across such revelations (“You were surprised”, “The years go by ...”, “Sorrows, you strive for my gates ...”):
Oh, no matter what I do, I'm still missing something
Not everything in my life turns out the way I want ...
Potholes, potholes, potholes and turns -
The cart rumbles, which is difficult to drag ...
Not everything works out in my life the way I want
At first glance, it may seem that such lines emanate sadness, melancholy, the poet's dissatisfaction with his creative destiny. But the apparent dissatisfaction of Nazar Najmi with himself is most likely a measure of the exactingness of the poet to his work, the result of years of developed and finally developed habit to openly, without concealment, tell the reader what he thinks.
However, this does not mean at all that the lyrics of Nazar Najmi are purely intimate. Warmed by spiritual warmth, it often goes far beyond the personal experiences of the poet.
The lyrics of Nazar Najmi are impartial, devoid of external edification, bare moralizing instructions. In it you will not find a trace of admiring false prettiness. The poet sees life in all its complexity and diversity. He strives personally, with his whole being to understand the world and poetically comprehend the laws of its movement, unravel the secrets of the individual being of a person. A kind of poetic interpretation of the philosophy of everyday life is the "Father's Word". This poem is built in the form of direct speech - the poet, as it were, without changes conveys the words of his father, with which he, “judging about the movement of mortal years,” admonished his son. How much folk wisdom is contained in these words! The father urges the son to always be worthy of his goals, not to fall into mental illness and remember "that the world is thousands of layers" that we see around.
Or let's pay attention to another poetic creation of Najmi - the poem "Knot". In terms of volume, this is a very small work - it consists of 16 lines. But how deep and capacious is the thought put into it by the poet! Already the first two lines attract attention with their conciseness and aphorism:
If the truth was overcome by lies.
Friendship would be lost for a penny!
Then, in a few words, but figuratively, he speaks of a feeling that, like a bridge, connects people and whose name is friendship. But drinking this friendship, it turns out, is “thinner than a hair”, “sharper than a sword”, therefore it requires a careful, careful attitude towards oneself. the main idea, which the poet wanted to express, is concluded in the last lines of the poem:
True, the heart can sometimes
Connect the thread if it breaks ...
But always at the same time -
Here's the trouble! -
The node remains...
The fact that Nazar Najmi is a lyric poet, an original poet who has his own own voice, all of which is undeniable. His poems are distinguished by melodiousness, musicality, proximity to folk poetry. It is no coincidence that many of them are set to music. But today for Nazar Najmi these definitions are no longer enough, since they do not fully reveal the essence of his poetic talent.
The bottom line is that in the poetry of N. Najmi, since the end of the 60s, a philosophical stream began to make its own channel more and more strongly - his lyrics became more and more philosophical. Usually the poems of N. Najmi are small in volume. But by the nature of thinking and the scale of the poetic image, they often grow into broad generalizations:
Because we quickly get used to
Fortunately - if you meet on the way -
Joy from the mountain - we do not notice
Woe from a bump - we can not get around ...
A bump in front of the mountain ... Is it visible to the eye?
Yes, what is there! ... But - note:
We fall - stumbling not on a mountain,
And hitting a bump by chance.
Translation by E. Nikolaevskaya
Nazar Najmi thinks a lot about our existence, about the meaning of life, about a person and his place in society. At the same time, reflections not only testify to the great life experience poet, but often acquire a philosophical overtone. Here, for example, is an example where there is both brevity and clarity of the phrase, and at the same time the depth of thought:
Birth and death are two extreme dates,
And between them is a celebration of life.
On the last journey, knowing all the pain of loss,
The crowd we carry out our friend.
Another will leave - and head in sadness
Bends over him whole country.
And he entered the world - we did not meet him,
Only his mother was by his side.
Translation of Ya Kozlovsky
Nazar Najmi is far from indifferent to what is happening around. He lives by the cares of the country and the people, closely following the turbulent events of the era, before which he especially acutely feels his responsibility, his civic duty:
And in the world still - until now -
Anxiety lives on
Not silent.
My daughter is sleeping
Our yard sleeps.
I just don't close my eyes.
And I listen to the silence
And I want to sleep but can not sleep ...
Everything seems: if I fall asleep,
Suddenly something will happen to the world!
Translation by E. Nikolaevskaya
The poem-monologue "At the Cradle" is written in the same vein. It reflects the dynamics of time on a larger scale, on a larger scale. The poet seems to be sounding the alarm for the fate of the world, humanity. Using the original artistic technique- dialogue between lyrical hero and his father, resurrected in the form of a bright flame, he passes through the prism of his personal perception a huge stream historical events. And while reading the poem, a whole world of phenomena, so characteristic of the 20th century, passes before us. “At the Cradle” is a hymn to Man, a hymn to Reason, and at the same time a call to vigilance.
The poetry of Nazar Najmi is earthly flesh from flesh. With all her being, she is turned to her native land, to the people who raised him:
Let me be forgotten by you
Cursed by you, earth,
If one day with a full hand
I will defile your bread
Let the poems run away from me
The world will turn into a crypt.
If I forget peasant labor
I look down on bread
Translation And Snowy
Poetically vividly and figuratively, the idea of a blood connection with the people is expressed in the poem "The Fire Neighbor". It captivates with its figurative thought, soft intonation. At the heart of the work is an old folk custom- go to each other for a hot coal to kindle the hearth. For the poet, fire and the folk custom associated with it are just a detail from which he repels. The hearth, which at the beginning of the poem was used in its direct meaning, in subsequent lines gradually acquires a different, very capacious metaphorical meaning - it is compared with the human soul, with everything that distinguishes living nature from inanimate nature. Step by step, rapping out the phrase and achieving the utmost precision of thought, in the final stanza the poet suddenly makes an unexpected turn, and the initial pattern of the verse takes on a completely different shape:
I keep a cherished desire in my heart:
I would like a grain of such fire! ..
To be called a neighbor in the fire,
To make people rush to me!
Translation by E Nikolaevskaya
Nevertheless, the most original thing of Nazar Najmi in this series is probably the poem “My Tsarskoye Selo”. The very name of the work is original, in a peculiar way echoing Russian classics. It is no less interesting in terms of content, breadth of conception and the nature of thinking. The poem is written in a manner familiar to the poet - through the parallel development of two motives, two lines. In this case, one of these lines is connected with the idea that each person should have the beginning of all beginnings - native places dear to the heart. This idea is taken as an epigraph to the whole work. The second line is the chanting of the native haven, which, according to the poet, is in no way inferior in beauty and wealth to Pushkin's Tsarskoye Selo. There are no golden royal chambers here, "but there are golden land”, golden people, golden fields on which golden grains grow. Everything here is luxurious and beautiful: the foothills, and the sunny garden, and honey lindens, and meadows, and "oak forests, cool in the heat, and swans in the blue of lakes, and the brightness of flowering in spring, and the regal summer attire." And all this gives the poet reason to say:
My land is the generosity of the earth,
He is richer than royal riches,
What kings could
Create what our region will create!
Ah, my end! Everyone here is a poet
Here the school is almost like a Lyceum ...
Translation And Snowy
A sense of pride and steadfast commitment to the native side also permeates the larger poetic works of Nazar Najmi. “One end of my poems, always alive, was tied to the native land,” he declares, for example, in the poem Eleven Songs About a Friend.
Through complex, even sharply dramatic collisions, the idea of a person's blood connection with his native land, with its firmly established customs and centuries-old traditions, is also expressed in the poems "The Devil" and "Ural". The situation in which the hero of the poem "Ural" found himself is tragic. By the will of fate, he is cut off from his native soil and lives across the ocean. But his seeming well-being is, in essence, imaginary: it does not bring him happiness and does not bring peace of mind.
The aesthetic views of Nazar Najmi are quite clearly and vividly reflected in his epic works. Nazar Najmi has a poem, which is entirely devoted to the creation of a personalized image of the poet. This is "The Poet and the Shah". The basis of its plot is a fairy tale motif, which the author himself hints at, defining the genre of his work as an oriental poem in the subtitle. But from this, the abstract-generalized image of the poet does not at all become fabulous - it is quite real and earthly.
The action of the poem takes place in one of the eastern khanates, headed by a rich and formidable ruler - Shah-Zhikhan. The shah is rich, but not so much in gold and diamonds, but in fame - "She thundered over the world." The glory was brought to him by the "bird of wisdom" - an inspired word. “The word has no equal. Bird song stops before the music of words, streams freeze along all banks, the rustling of blades of grass and groves subsides ... ".
The Shah knew this, he knew the "secret to captivate, tame" people, he knew "the secret to destroy and seduce with words."
Everything would be fine if the lie had not suddenly been revealed: the bird of wisdom, it turns out, did not belong to the shah, but to an inconspicuous poet. This lie was exposed by the poet, who did not want to continue to kowtow to the shah.
The Shah is ready to forgive the poet if he gives him power and glory again! But the poet does not agree: "Having called himself to account", he is arranging a trial of himself. "After all, there is no more merciless court over the poet than the court of the poet." At the end of the poem, it is reported that the shah lived for a long time after the death of the poet, "but he did not know either glory or happiness."
Through allegory, Nazar Najmi managed to convey in an allegorical form the idea of a huge social, civic and aesthetic sound: the poet is the master of feelings, he is the only one in whose power the word is; the word is necessary for people, "to warm their souls, to fill the expanse."
Member of the Great Patriotic War, Nazar Najmi writes a lot and touchingly about the war. Almost all of his major works are “Mother”, “Birches”, “The Boy Opening the Gate”, “The Ballad of a Song”, “At the Cradle”, “Shirt”, “Life Song”, “Two Zuleikhs”, “Living Blood” - in one way or another connected with the military theme. One common feature what unites these things is their autobiography.
If the content of the ballad "Birch" is associated with a childhood friend who did not return from the battlefield, then in lyric poem“The Boy Opening the Gate” tells about himself and his peers, inai step by step passed through the “gate of life” and reached the Brandenburg Gate; “The Ballad of a Song” is a dedication to the famous Bashkir poet Malikh Kharis, who died in the Great Patriotic War. Imbued with deep lyricism, the poems are convincing in their vitality and imagery; those people whose fates gave the poet food for thought and broad generalizations cause admiration.
The most recent and no less significant poem by Nazar Najmi from the series about the war is "Living Blood". A harmonious composition, a solid plot, a beautiful language - artless, close to colloquial, interspersed with aphoristic expressions worthy of entering the world of wise thoughts and sayings. As in previous poems, the author is not interested in the war in itself - his attention is focused most of all on its consequences, on those physical ailments and mental wounds that it caused to more than one generation of people and which make themselves felt to this day. The title of the poem has a very capacious meaning: symbolic, metaphorical, and allegorical.
It is difficult to single out any single theme in the poetic arsenal of Nazar Najmi, which would certainly prevail over others. But with all the variety of subjects, his works are united: they are characterized by high humanity. Whatever the poet writes about, he always remains true to himself, to his once and for all developed principles, to his civic duty. His poems are permeated with filial love for native land, sincere and deep respect for people for whom honesty and truthfulness, beauty of the soul and generosity of the heart, fidelity in love and disinterestedness in friendship are above all. Meeting the glorious anniversary of Nazar Najmi - his eightieth birthday, we can say with confidence that the poet's multifaceted and multi-colored work today is one of the brightest pages of Bashkir poetry. (According to A. Khabirov.)

Birth and death are two extreme dates,
And between them is a celebration of life.
On the last journey, knowing all the pain of loss,
The crowd we carry out our friend.
Another will leave - and head in sadness
An entire country is bending over him.
And he entered the world - we did not meet him,
Only his mother was by his side.
