In ancient times,
in Asia, an oasis flourished of the Saka tribe.
And among them lived a herdsman named Shiroq
with his wife and little son.
The Legend of Shiroq
In those days,
the ruler of Persia trampled the fields of the whole earth.
There was no state left unconquered by the Persians.
There were no husbands left who had not been sold into slavery.
The insidious serpent had only one thirst left to quench:
the thirst to seize the Sogdian lands.
Hey, people of the city!
Disaster is upon us!
The enemy is at the gate.
Beat the drums,
blow the trumpets,
prepare your swords and arrows!
Greetings to you, townsmen.
Open the gates for us
and let my army pass through your city,
and in return you shall keep your lives
and become the obedient servants of the great King Darius.
Otherwise, we will wipe you off the face of the earth
and scatter your ashes to the winds.
I am the elder of this city, and I will tell you, Ranosbat:
It is better to be dust on one's native land
than be a servant to the dog Darius.
Well,
you have made your choice!
My warriors!
Raze this filthy city to the ground!
The city's residents fought bravely.
The enemy army suffered heavy losses,
and the enraged Ranosbat
gave the signal to retreat.
You just wait, obstinate dogs!
I'll starve you out!
Hey, my warriors!
Prepare to lay siege to the city.
They'll come crawling back on their bellies
begging for mercy.
Listen, people of the city:
the siege has already lasted two long months.
We have no water, we have no food.
It seems that victory belongs to the enemy.
Victory lies not on the battlefield, but in the hearts of the people!
I will lead the Persian troops away
and give them the gift of death.
Halt! Who goes there?
Take me to your commander.
Who are you?
I am the herdsman Shiroq,
and I want to help your army take the city.
I know this land,
and I will lead you by a roundabout route
so that you can capture the city from the rear.
Do you think I am a fool and will believe you?
Look at what my compatriots did to me
just because I suggested surrendering to you.
They cut off your ears and nose.
Now I believe you.
Lead us on!
In the morning, Shiroq led the Persian troops
away from his hometown.
For a day,
for two days,
for twenty.
The city was nowhere to be seen.
From starvation and fatigue,
the Persians died in their hundreds.
On the thirtieth day,
Ranosbat cried out:
Stop, you villain!
Where have you led us?
To your grave, Ranosbat.
You will remain here forever
and will not trample my land.
And my people will live,
plant gardens,
build houses,
and raise happy children.
You shall die as well, accursed wretch!
This happened long ago -
when the birds flew higher,
when bravery and valor were valued more than gold and diamonds.
But the legend of the herdsman Shiroq lives on,
and in the spring, scarlet tulips
bloom upon his burial mound.
