Rest in Dushanbe.

"The moon is dark, the firmament is gloomy,
From the black cloud the snow is coming, coming.
Neither mountains, nor rivers, nor fields are visible,
And the crow, which is darker than the darkness, is not visible.
I have no firewood, no corned beef,
And no - until the new harvest - barley.
Though I see snow - an ivory mountain -
I am afraid of requisitions at such a time.
The whole world turned upside down all of a sudden...
At least a friend helped me with something!”

Hakim Abulkasim Firdowsi Tusi (935 - 1020) - Persian poet, classic of Persian literature, author of the epic poem "Shahnameh" ("Book of Kings"). He is popular and is considered a national poet in Iran, Tajikistan and Afghanistan. Ferdowsi lived in the Xth century on the territory of Greater Iran (Greater Persia), in Khorasan.
Three centuries earlier, in the 7th century, Sasanian Persia was conquered by the Arabs and became part of the Caliphate. During the time of the central authority of the caliph, the Persian language and culture were supplanted by Arabic ones, but by the end of the IXth century the caliphate weakened and local Muslim dynasties (the so-called Iranian intermezzo) came to power.
