Samarkand bazaar

IN THE SAMARKAND BAZAR

At the Samarkand bazaar,
filled with wondrous wonders,
shout out in bass
and subtly output in treble.
Tower
breathing heavily
with various names
melons,
melons
and melons
mountain building.
Mysteriously fragrant
bunches of medicinal herbs,
and eggplants bask
as sleek as sea lions.
On scarlet pomegranate seeds
on your fabric,
Margilan,
look,
as I once looked
to India Magellan.
What a generous land
from your kind warmth
On sky,
on bird chirps,
flowers,
smiles,
fruit!
And you are in some kind of stinginess
hide yourself from people
i would say
not from poverty,
from his constraint.
Live festively
bright,
learn the colors of the earth
Be generous with colors
like a fair
sparkle
goody
and links!
