Travel from Turkestan region to Kyzylorda.

"If you want to blossom in spring, become the earth. I was the earth. I am the wind.
Anyone who has no friend in this world,
He is a shell, but without a royal pearl.
How does one live who has not known holy friendship?
He is like an empty pearl.
The looseness of language reproaches itself,
Giving birth to hundreds of troubles, misfortunes, and grievances."

Alisher Navoi. First poem of famous Khamsa ("Quintet") cycle is "Confusion of the Righteous." 1483.
