Line 47:
Poverty, overstrain, endless cares of his large family and persecution adversely affected his health. He boiled soap for a living and was often ill. In 1910 Sabir's disease of the liver took a serious turn that turned out to be irreversible. Even when ill, Sabir continued to write. Not long before his death he said to his friends who stood at his bed-side: "I laid my flesh down for my people. But if God would give me more time, I would lay my bones down too..."
== Hophopname ==
After his death, in honor of Sabir's memory, his wife Bullurnise, and his friends Abbas Sahhat and M. Mahmudbeyov collected Sabir`s poems and published them under the name "Hophopname" in 1912. Two years later, the second, better edition of the “Hophopname” was released by the people.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.visions.az/en/news/416/d5296a0e/|title=A MIRROR OF HIS TIME: THE POET M. A.

Sabir’s poems, his caustic epigrams, verbal self-character portraits appeared on the pages of Molla Nasreddin magazine with colorful illustrations by the artist [[Azim Azimzade]] and became the property of an international reader, as the magazine was received in the cities of [[Russia]], [[Iran]], [[Afghanistan]], [[Egypt]], India, and other countries. <ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.azerbaijan.az/portal/Culture/Literature/literature_08_r.html|title=КЛАССИКИ АЗЕРБАЙДЖАНСКОЙ ЛИТЕРАТУРЫ|last=|first=|date=|website=|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}}</ref>
