Kurt Nahshisi - Song of the Kurds (Uyghur Folk Song)
(not the entire translation)
Oh Lord, we have a homeland
Of rivers, water, villages,
Gardens cared for by gardeners,
And fruit-bearing trees.
The old rest in their dwellings,
And the young go to war shooting arrows.
Snow white are its mountain peaks,
A jade necklace, its stones,
The fruits of heaven ripen,
The dervishes perform their prayers.
Origin unknown. Many Uyghur bakhshis (scribes and bureaucrats) ended up in places like Iran and Asia Minor during Mongol expansion. There were also many Uyghur merchants along the silk road who could in theory have brought the stories of an idealized homeland of the Kurds back to Western China (Moghulistan in that particular time period).
