Aku menjadi mampu untuk menuliskan berbagai kata2 cinta tentang Uzbekistan. Apalagi yang aku dapatkan dari seorang  Penyair Zayn ad-DinVasi (1485--1556),
Dim road in Moscow's winter taxi.Â
Maybe our Uzbek driver's memory Drifts to Bukhara,Samarkand and Tashkent:Â
The shifting sands and the caravan's load,Â
Blue-gold minarets,Â
Mosaic tiled rooms,Â
Sunny desert oases along the Silk Road,Â
Bountiful grapes, scarlet pomegranate blooms.Â
"Oh, what a kingdom!Â
None of the lawns of paradise Can be compared with ancient Shash.
 And the one who settled here for good Will forever forget about paradise groves.Â
