What “Bikhwab Sho, Farzandam” Means
Afghanistan sits at the historic crossroads of the Silk Road, its trade caravans once crossing beneath the towering Hindu Kush mountain range. This original lullaby, in Dari (Afghan Persian, one of the country’s two official languages), borrows that same image of caravans finally coming to rest for the night.
