(перевод с узбекского)
Heavy load as a hill
Shouldered a poet.
Having had a strong will,
Makes his way a poet.
So, the world, full of pain,
Put aside a poet.
Working with might and main,
Sings as birds a poet.
Шоир
Демангиз, дунёнинг ташвиши колиб
Узини хар ёнга уради шоир.
Тогдай огир юкни кифтида олиб,
Кушдай енгил булиб юради шоир.
(Абдулла Арипов)
