Beautiful rendition of Bohor by Shumol
Well done guys❤️❤️

Wakhi speaker Jumakhon Matrobov tells the story of Rukhshona, a headstrong young queen who refuses to marry for years, but instead sends out her image, engraved on rings, around the world to ensure that her kingdom will have wheat. Meanwhile she challenges any suitors to take food from out of a lion's mouth — ultimately one succeeds and they have a son named Lal. Later, when the King of Pakistan sees Rukhshona's image on a ring and verifies her beauty, he arrives with his army, vowing to marry her. Destructive wars result, eventually leading Rukhshona to kill herself with a sword and the king in turn to jump from a mountain.
