“The nightingale is a central Asian symbol particular to Sufis, it refers to the human soul…however along with the red rose it features everywhere in central Asian culture…which was dominated by poetry, Sufism and carpet/silk weaving-this would have been a period when Central Asia was ruled by Amirs …I think it most probably refers to the Emirate of Bukhara…during this time the Great Game was on and Russian and British forces were vying to overthrow the small emirates to gain control of the silk route…and if everyone died it was okay as long as they gained control of the silk route!”
Fascinating. The discussion started because I asked if the name of the character in this song:

really referred to the bulbul and whether or not that’s a name ever given to people, male or female, or was it just poet license etc.
