The bey said to Ali

'If you spend one winter on the Nurhak Mountain

I will give my daughter to you'

Ali accepted this offer without hesitation

But he knew

It was not possible to spend

A whole winter on the Nurhak Mountain

As it stands unfathomably high and steep

Craggy with massive rocks and no tree cover

There is a crater lake at the peak of the mountain

Beside which there is just one tree and a small cave

Local people spend the summer on this plateau

But would return to their village in winter

When the lake froze over

And the snow covered the mountain
