As he said that, I was so enraged I was about to lose my faith.
I said to him you have remained ignorant; I was about to punch him in the face.
What is wrong with Kurdish? Is it not God’s creation, the language of truth?
See, Armenian has no eloquence, and Doomsday is not going to be in Armenian,
Yet with their limping language and crooked writing, but with books and journals,
They are counted among the great nations, and about to call themselves a state.
How is Kurdish different from Farsi? Why is Persian the right language and Kurdish wrong?
In fact, if you notice you would realize who has stolen from whom,
Because we are older than they are, according to the history books of all religions.
They had this mentality, the people of Sulaymaniyah and Koye,
That they became the masters of Persian and Arabic, some even reached Fakhre Razi’ status
--- Haji Qadiri Koyi
*Fakhr ad-Din al-Razi was a famous Persian theologian and philosopher in the twelfth century.
Context: In a qaside “Kurdêkî Koyî” he tells the details of his encounter with a person from Koye, his hometown, who complains that Şêx Kake Ehmed translates the Quran and the prophet’s sayings (hadith) into Kurdish. Upon hearing his complaint Hacî Qadir becomes furious and comments.
