I AM A DAUGHTER OF KHOREZM
I am a daughter of the noble land of Khorezm, The history of my ancient Khiva spans a thousand years. You are ever hospitable, with a heart so wide, Forever youthful and beautiful, my majestic land, No land can match your beauty, my dear Khorezm.
Among the pages of ancient history, your name shines bright, Among all nations, my beloved Khiva is cherished. With you by my side, my sorrows seem so light, Forever youthful and beautiful, my majestic land, No land can match your beauty, my dear Khorezm.
How many great scholars has this world witnessed, Al-Khwarizmi, Beruni, and Mahmud Pahlavan. How many scholars have passed, how many khans, Forever youthful and beautiful, my majestic land, No land can match your beauty, my dear Khorezm.
My homeland, so kind and loving, like my own mother, In your embrace I lived, blossomed, and grew. I felt your kindness and was filled with your love, Forever youthful and beautiful, my majestic land, No land can match your beauty, my dear Khorezm.
