The President of Turkmenistan has written a deeply meaningful poem titled “The Pride of the Turkmen,” celebrating the heavenly steeds, Turkmen nature and national values. It contains the following beautiful lines.

“The Pride of the Turkmen”

A great history is the foundation of a great future,
Such is the bright destiny of the Turkmen.
Pride in the past, glory in the present—
Such is the spirit of the noble Turkmen steed.

In its appearance lies the beauty of the whole world,
Distant roads are within its command,
For the Turkmen, a horse is both aspiration and wings,
It is the embodiment of Turkmen perfection.

What a miracle is a mother’s devotion,
Like a meadow of the heart blossoming with flowers,
A fine carpet is the heritage of the ages,
It is the story of the Turkmen’s glorious life.

Always guarding, alert and watchful,
The loyal Alabai is the image of friendship,
It has travelled the long path of centuries,
It is the Turkmen’s constant companion.

Its renown has spread across the seven regions of the world,
The wider world admires its great art,
The age blossoms in the hearts of the people,
It is the Turkmen’s enduring continuation.
