Rubaba means the flower of Rose and the rose-tinted pleasure in her nostalgia for seeing Ardabil has a significant meaning. Rubaba had always a nostalgic and pensive attitude to many issues.
A river like the Araz didn't lose its symbolic range of meaning as the lifeblood of a legendary singer who was deprived seeing her home city by the dirty politics in the twentieth century.
Rubaba's nostalgia is understandable. The water in the Araz river became as water from a river of Paradise for her.

By saying: Fill my cup with water from the Araz river, she presented an allegory of her Free Will in the last day of her life.
The significance and function of Rubaba Muradova's allegorical wish in a cup of water from the Araz river for her understanding is necessary.
Su sesi ve
ormanda kuş ötüşleri
Filling a cup with water from THE ARAZ RIVER has a deep symbolic meaning to understand the pains and suffering of the great singer of Azerbaijan Rubaba Muradova.
Filling a cup with water from the Araxes river became the final desire in her short life. She was not from a distinguished and privileged family. She was first child of her family who raised 7 children (5 daughters and 2 sons).
We are talking about Rubaba Muradova whose last wish from her youngest sister Tahrirah Muradova was: "FILL MY CUP FROM THE ARAZ RIVER."
A Beautiful "Mugam-Music"
Performed
By A Female Artist
(from Azerbaijan)
The legendary artist of Layli-Majnoun Opera of Azerbaijan who was the great singer of all times made her thoughts beautifully as if her thoughts were clouds in the sky of Azerbaijan.
from a distinguished and privileged family.
Rubaba Muradova likened clouds which form when water evaporates and goes high up in the sky. Her thoughts resembled to these clouds and her emotions were likened to winds.
When Rubaba wishes a cup of water from THE ARAZ RIVER, then she thinks this water primarily was as a cloud in the sky of Ardabil and Tabriz.
From her childhood in Ardabil Rubaba Ishraghi used to experience the constant winds blowing on the surface of her face in the nature of the beautiful landscpes; especially the "KaahRa-Lan" winds in Ardabil. The blowing of winds meant a deep meaning to this Azerbaijani artist.
In the exile [in Republic Azerbaijan), where she became the most distinguished artist and singer, she used to imagine that her emotions (winds) are pushing her thoughts (clouds) forward when she make her imaginative journey to Ardabil and the Savalan Mountain.
In the last days of her life in August 1983, Rubaba asked her sister: "FILL MY CUP FROM WATER WHICH FLOWS IN THE ARAZ RIVER."
WATER (H20) of THE ARAZ RIVER was created when THE CLOUDS over Ardabil City (RUBABA'S THOUGHTS) was pushed by her deep emotions (winds) in regard to these memories:
" Herhome on an alley "Darband" in a district known as the Alla Gappi District in Ardabil City, about her memories from the childhood classmates, from the neighbors, from her memories of the HOT SPRINGS in SAREYIN CITY, THE HOT SPRINGS in VILLA-DARRA Village in Ardabil , The Famous Museum of "SHEIKH SAFI-EDDIN" and the wonderful place around THE SAVALAN MOUNTAIN".
Rubaba Muradova:
"Qezel"
Filing a cup with water from THE ARAZ RIVER means this water comes from my thoughts (clouds), my emotions (winds). This water symbolizes my longing to Ardabil (my thoughts and emotions).
My emotion (wind) mirrors itself in my longing to my home in Ardabil since my departure in December 1946. This emotion (wind) pushes forward my thought (cloud) forward as long as my wish for seeing Ardabil is not fulfilled.
Those clouds (my thoughts) seen are floating in the skies of the AREAZ RIVER, in the sky of Ardabil rain and make water in the ARAZ RIVER and in ARDABIL CITY.
Those clouds (my thoughts about Ardabil) are pushed by my emotions (winds) along on Rubaba Muradova's feelings.
Ruba Muradova wants a cup of water from the ARAZ river. This water is the extract of her longing to seeing her home city Ardabil. This longing were her thoughts (clouds) and her emotions (winds).
Rubaba Muradova : "Fill my cup with water from the Araz river.
Her soul in drinking water from "THE ARAZ RIVER" reflects a nostalgy.
In her both love to a cup of water from the Araz River and her battles with dying.
For her because of proximity of the water from the ARAZ RIVER to Ardabil City meant also the water from THE ARAZ RIVER loved her above all things just because she belonged to this water for life.
Water and Life meant a lot to her. Water means life for Rubaba Muradova demonstrated how her life was devastated through her separation from her home city Ardabil by the Araz River.
The purpose of Rubaba Muradova's life was not to be separated from her home in Ardabil City. The ARAXES River between the northern Azerbaijan and the Azerbaijani province Ardabil in the northwestern of Iran was THE GREAT POLITICAL WALL between the East Soviet and the West.
For Rubaba Muradova "THE ARAZ RIVER" symbolized her desire for life. Filling a cup from the ARAZ RIVER meant for her: to cross the Araz river and to kiss her family's home in Ardabil for last moments of her life and die in her home city Ardabil.
Rubaba Muradova in the last moments of her life asked her youngest sister Tahira Muradova about "Araz River's aqua vitae" namely "water of life from Araz River".
We know that water means life and the last wish from Rubaba Muradova implied that her last moments of life wants to be wedded with her beloved Araz water.
This Rubaba's latest wish when she was dying, can truly change your perspective of life when you try to understand the impacts of the Cold War between Soviet Union and the USA and Great Britain in controlling Azerbaijan and its wealth including its oil reserves.
The Araxes River (in Azeri "ARAZ RIVER"; in Farsi "ARAS RIVER) became the battledground for the dawn of the Cold war between the East and the West in December 1946.
Rubaba Muradova and her family escaped from the military invasions by the US General Herbert Norman Schwarzkopf Sr.[who was the head of the federal Gendarmerie of Iran & was appointed by the Franklin D. Roosevelt, the US President] to Soviet Azerbaijan in December 1946.

Molla Khalil & Siddigha Khanim Ishraghi taught Rubaba how to explore the concept of sacrific ethe concept to uphold the notion of justice.
Rubaba was brought up in Ardabil but she kept in her mind that the waters of the Euphrates River in the 680 A.D. in desert of Karbala in Iraq was cut off from Imam Husain’s small children while they were thirsty.
Rubaba Ishraghi was a small girl at the age 0f 7-10 but she kept weeping for the stories of Imam Hussein's small daughters in Karbala.
In Azerbaijani language Rubaba learned the concept of adālat. For the members of the Ishraghi family the women of the Ahl-e Bait got the highest degree of values.
Rubaba Ishraghi as a small girl in Ardabil learned especially the stories of these small daughters of Imam Hussein in the eve of Ashura.
Rubaba Ishraghi felt the pains and suffering of the small daughters of Imam Hussein are her own pains and their experiences in the calamities and difficulties which inflicted on them, is also inflicting her in the mind.
Rubabaa Muradova for a long time completely was filled with the thoughts of kissing the soil of Ardabil city and walking the streets and alleys where she represented herself in the days of Ashura of Muharram (at the ages 8-10) as the daughter of Imam Hossein, namely "Sakineh"
Rubaba Muradova is the same small girl who represented herself and played the roles of the small daughter of Imam Hossein whose name was "Sakineh". The mother of Sakineh was "Rubab" in the 680 A.D.
In the Desert of Karabala in the 680 A.D. children and babies were deprived of accessing water by the thyrants.
One of he brave woman of Karabala was "Rubab", the wife of Imam Hossein . She was like Zeynab the siter of Imam Hossein in pains and suffering.
Rubaba Muradova was mourning in the day of Ashura how Rubab the mother of Sakineh on the eve of Ashura was weeping and the flood of her tears were streaming down on her cheeks.
Why? Because she was searching for water for her small daughter namely "Sakineh". Water became a symbol in Rubaba Muradova's life.
Even when she was dying in the city of Baku in August 1982, she repeated the word of Sakineh, the daughter of Imam Hossein: "I want water."
Rubaba Muradova's beautiful voice for mourning in the Ashura was so influential so that all people on the streets who were mourning allowed the flood of their tears to stream down on the surface of their cheeks.
The small girl of Imam Hossein wanted water. The tyrant of karabala "Yazid" and his men blocked all the ways for accessing water for small babies and children like "Sakinhe"
Rubaba Muradova, in her 13-15 ages, played and represented the roles of Imam Hossein's sister, Hazrat Zeynab in the day of Ashura.
Rubaba's voice on the day of Ashura did burst the flood of tears from the eyes of the mourners by penetrating into all about 50 trillion cells with a human body. This haooened on the streets and alleys of Ardabil City.
Since December 1946, she filled the spaces of her heart with sorrows and thorns of nostalgia so abundant unto August 28m 1983 she died.
For people from Western Europe, America and East Asia, a glass of water from THE ARAZ RIVER has an allegorical interpretation; an allegorical image of kissing Rubaba Muradova's desires for seeing her home in Ardabil.
Her Music, her ways to spirituality and the beauty of her soul were all known for millions of people in Azerbaijan, Turkey, Iran and Russia.

(from Azerbaijan)
The legendary artist of Layli-Majnoun Opera of Azerbaijan who was the great singer of all times made her thoughts beautifully as if her thoughts were clouds in the sky of Azerbaijan. from a distinguished and privileged family.
Rubaba Muradova likened clouds which form when water evaporates and goes high up in the sky. Her thoughts resembled to these clouds and her emotions were likened to winds.
When Rubaba wishes a cup of water from THE ARAZ RIVER, then she thinks this water primarily was as a cloud in the sky of Ardabil and Tabriz.

My emotion (wind) mirrors itself in my longing to my home in Ardabil since my departure in December 1946. This emotion (wind) pushes forward my thought (cloud) forward as long as my wish for seeing Ardabil is not fulfilled.
Those clouds (my thoughts) seen are floating in the skies of the AREAZ RIVER, in the sky of Ardabil rain and make water in the ARAZ RIVER and in ARDABIL CITY.
Those clouds (my thoughts about Ardabil) are pushed by my emotions (winds) along on Rubaba Muradova's feelings.
Ruba Muradova wants a cup of water from the ARAZ river. This water is the extract of her longing to seeing her home city Ardabil. This longing were her thoughts (clouds) and her emotions (winds).
Rubaba Muradova : "Fill my cup with water from the Araz river.
