Ирина Саверьевна Алексеева , |
| translated by Malcolm Jones |
| I sing of you, oh, Samarkand'! |
| Your wondrous features win my praises. |
| And your dear heart - the Registan - |
| seems young to me and never ages. |
| Its steady beating Ulughbek |
| could sense beneath the constellations. |
| Oh, Samarkand! Immortal pick |
| of mighty Tamerlan's creations. |
| Madrasses are your sacred schools, |
| which cultivate the arts and learning. |
| Their beauty overcomes time's rules |
| by centuries into moments turning. |
| Here the great Navoi's verse, |
| so full of love and strong emotion, |
| is cherished by your populace, |
| made happy by its inspiration. |
| The domes of minarets stand proud - |
| like day-time stars in clear sky shining: |
| so pure the blue, without a cloud |
| and fine the spires in art combining. |
| Oh, Samarkand! You're wise through age, |
| with mosques and churches closely neighboured. |
| For those who love you, the world's stage |
| has no town better nor more favoured. |
| Oh, Samarkand! Live long and thrive, |
| be glorified by each good action! |
| And while eternity's your prize, |
| be here our lasting benefaction. |
