Bukhara

Uzbek Voices

Bukhara

They say the land is beautiful, the old city of Bukhara  
Among all cities, the most revered is Bukhara  
In Bukhara, there is the Sitorai Mohosa  
Where peacocks shimmer, moving like dancers  

Bukhara has the Kalon Minaret  
With melodies that touch the heart, and the Shashmaqom rhythms  
Come, friends, rest by the Lab-i Hauz  
Afandi sends you his greetings from afar  

In the Ark, there are crowns and thrones of amirs  
On the terraces, their happiness is reflected  
In Bukhara, many famous craftsmen are known  
Gold embroiderers, shoemakers, potters — come and see  

Their works are masterpieces of art, you’ll say  
For a moment, you forget all the worries of the world  
The old city streets are quite narrow  
In Bukhara, people of various nations are found  

This city itself holds many secrets  
Seven saints guard Bukhara  
They call Bukhara the land of the Seven Saints  
They always protect us from calamities

        I’m most enlightening writing of a place I have never been. Full of colorful and vivid images. I could almost hear the city bustle.
