TAJIK LANGUAGE DAY
October 5 is celebrated as Tajik(Farsi) Language Day in Tajikistan. Tajik Persian is an official language in Tajikistan. Cyrillic alphabet is used for this language in Tajikistan since 1930s. The language was saved by great figures of Tajik people like Sadriddin Ayni despite the fact that the script was changed and a lot of Russian words were introduced. Tajik, Dari and Farsi are mutually intelligible and considered to be just three names of the same language. It is an inseparable part of the national identity in Tajikistan. People of Tajikistan believe they are the heirs of the 1000-year-old Persian literature along with other Persian speakers of the world and this outstanding literature is taught at school starting with Rudaki (858-941), the founder of Persian classical literature, who was born in what is now Tajikistan. Great Persian poets like Firdousi, Saadi, Hafez, Rumi, Khayyam and Bedil are equally revered along with Rudaki and Naser Khosrow.
We are proud of being the native speakers of one of classical languages of the world the others being Greek, Latin and Sanskrit and etc.

*************
Come, come, whoever you are.

Wonderer, worshipper, lover of leaving.

It doesn’t matter.

Ours is not a caravan of despair.

Come, even if you have broken your vow

a thousand times

Come, yet again, come, come.

We are as the flute, and the music in us is from thee;
we are as the mountain and the echo in us is from thee.

We are as pieces of chess engaged in victory and defeat:
our victory and defeat is from thee, O thou whose qualities are comely!

Who are we, O Thou soul of our souls,
that we should remain in being beside thee?

We and our existences are really non-existence;
thou art the absolute Being which manifests the perishable.

We all are lions, but lions on a banner:
because of the wind they are rushing onward from moment to moment.

Their onward rush is visible, and the wind is unseen:
may that which is unseen not fail from us!

Our wind whereby we are moved and our being are of thy gift;
our whole existence is from thy bringing into being.
