Rakhsh

Rakhsh (Farsi "light", "radiance") - in the Iranian epic the heroic horse of Rustam.

With thick bangs, with an ear like a reed,
With a high neck, the look is slant and wild.
With a powerful back of the neck, with a mane like silk,
With a hole in the neck, whose size is large.

Wide nostrils, lips and fat lips,
With a ridge as mighty as a mountain ledge.
With a play of muscles poured, busty,
Like a golden eagle that takes prey, it is rude.

With a hoof round, as smooth as a takyr,
With the knees spread apart.
With a high leg, whose tread is resilient,
With shoulder blades as spacious as the world.

With wide croup, tonkostan, bokast,
No matter how you look, he is well under the saddle.
Kurguz tail, whose coarse hair is dry,
With a tubercle of the tail that grows fat to its fullest.

With an ankle low, with meat like a bar,
With a rounded bottom, strong on the jump.
With a flat underbelly, thin and lean,
With a thick scrotum that hangs between the legs.

It is flexible in the joints, wide in the lower leg,
Playful in the run like a breeze.
I want to tie him to the yurt,
So that he squints his eyes, alone.

He trots evenly, very playful and fast,
Gnawing furiously with his teeth.
He is in a race, an argument, in a ride, reliable, quiet,
Not to have such a horse is a shame!

He trots so hard that Malachai is upright,
As if you yourself were flying like a nightingale.
Faster than the saiga, this rare horse,
I am exhausted thinking about him! ..
