A Poem Dedicated to All Women 

Žena

Pitala sam se da li sam slobodna.

Da li se ti osećaš slobodnom?

Ne.

Svakog dana hodam ulicom mogućnosti i prilika…

Ali niko me ne gleda.

Jer sam žena.

Neizrecivo je koliko se žena iskorišćava.

Od prvog dana.

Žena je trebalo da vaspitava dete,

da kuva za dete,

da ga nauči kako da misli, govori,

postupa…

Mnogo je toga što žena treba da uradi.

Ali šta se dešava posle?

Šta je sa ženinim potrebama?

Njenom željom?

Ženinom rečju?

Kao da ne postoji.

Sve dok jednog dana

ne pogledaš u ogledalo.

Vidiš svoje lice.

Vidiš svoje srce.

Vidiš svoje telo.

I ne prepoznaš ga.

Jer si toliko iskorišćena.

Iskorišćena odbacivanjem.

Potrošena samoćom.

Iskorišćena lažnim ljudima.

Potrošena lošim odlukama.

Bez vere.

Women

I was wondering if I am free?

Do u feel free?

Nooo

Every day I walk in a street of possibilities and opportunities..

But nobody look at me

As i am a woman..

It is unspeakable how much a woman is used..

From day one

A woman needed to educate the child

To cook for a child

To learn him how to think.. Speak..

Act.. 

A lot for a woman to do

But what happens after..

A woman need

A woman wish

A woman word

Inexistant person

Until one day

You will look at the mirror

You see your face

You will see your heart

You will see your body

And u will not recognize it

Because u will be so used

Used from the rejection

Used from the loneliness

Used from the fake people

Used from the bad decisions

Without faith!!!

Poetry from Abdulhafiz Iduoze

The Enigies of Benin,

The Enogie of Evboesi,

Ogiefo Festus, That First of His Name.

Koh, Baba. Lamogun.

Plain how those sons crashed!

Against Elegbe?!!! How they crashed…

They can not know they can not

Do how they crashed. Ah, crash!

In the tele-vision they crashed,

And for change, and it occurs —

It harries without a tinge abode

Catered to fear, to any endear

Which may seal the fate of man

And wring him upon shores spelt

About momentums and securities,

Magnanimities however still

As cold steel watches and waits

To the coming seasons uncease

Slashing down the tomfoolery

To upraise the forest voices

Unanimously, unctuous, uncouth

As that crash! The heart beats

And the voice hears vodoo spells

Wailing to repel and return in form

The ruckus trucking the sacred,

That capital that’s chopping herds

And droves to sacrilege thereat

Wisdom wills umpteenth, wars

With eyes and animus minstrels

Sung at the bottom line,

Sung far as sands obliterate

The waters to form the continents —

Which holds the planets if not

The sacred fields of order

Wherein magnetism morphs

Polymorphic gravity — heat, light;

Co-planar forces forcing the hand

To hope to touch the feet

And wear a feat of hope from

The sundials trolling misery.

It can not be said unsaid,

As is the modicum of tantamount

Tunes thinning the tireless herd,

That its self spits fire and roars —

That bull that bullish, scrapes off

Tarrifs and sprouts plantations,

That bows to win ineluctably,

That modifies geographies at once

Inspired out of those telemetries.

Hearts ease. The Gods recommend

From the heights of Pergammus

With wine and rest and visual

Ventricles stretched about arouse,

Stun stings stint stow strength.

Poetry from Balachandran Nair

Older South Asian man in a blue and white checkered shirt, dark hair, and reading glasses.

THE CONTRABAND

The moment I got down at Airport Heaven,

I went straight to duty-free shop.

All costly items short-supplied in Earth,

Were elegantly displayed, choice is yours!

Unselfish love was the hottest in demand,

But unluckily it’s container was empty.

Diligence, loyalty, gentleness were in front row.

Reliability, hardwork and maturity in side shelf.

Capability, creativity and sensibility were in a freezer.

Patience, trustworthiness, versatility in a decorated shelf.

Punctuality, integrity and courtesy were kept in torn baskets.

Accountability, skills and self-control sacks were empty.

Sociality, fairness and judiciousness were in deck ovens.

Cleanliness, openness and philanthropy, rot, in waste baskets!

All other rubbish qualities they boast up in Earth,

Thrown into an incinerator, were still burning.

God was interestingly watching my curiosity,

Well known that I was looking for something else.

He pushed a small wooden tray towards me,

Through underneath of his table.

It contained vials, tablets and capsules (contrabands?)!

Stealthily looking both ways, he said “hurry up!”

At once I picked up a vial which read “CHASTITY”,

Placed my chest in front of q r code

For scanning my heart and subsequent payment.

In reply to questioning glance of the God,

I nodded and added:

“Back home, my girl had almost all other items on black market,

Except this precious one I chose now”!

“Wait here for her arrival”, God replied.

MUHAMMADJONOVA O’G’ILOY BUNYODBEKOVNA


A review of Abdulloh Abdulmutiy Huda Said Bahlul’s book “Qulog‘im senda, qizim”

A book is a bridge of salvation between this world and the Hereafter, guiding us away from evil and towards good.

“Qulog‘im senda, qizim”… This book, written by Abdulloh Abdulmutiy Huda Said Bahlul, is a “treasure” that teaches girls and women to be chaste, well-mannered, and devout. This treatise is not only for girls but also an essential read for mothers who are not indifferent to their children’s upbringing. The reason is that it contains various noble virtues, illustrated through diverse stories and real-life examples, which call humanity only and solely towards goodness!

Every page of the book is an expression of a father’s boundless love and profound wisdom for his daughter. The author provides valuable advice on various aspects of life – from personal development to family relationships, one’s place in society, and most importantly, spiritual growth. These counsels are not mere dry admonitions, but are enriched with real-life examples and instructive stories drawn from the Holy Quran and Sunnah, allowing the reader to ponder deeply.

“Qulog‘im senda, qizim” is not just a book, but a manual for life. The advice and guidance provided within are beneficial not only for young girls but also for those with sons, and even for parents themselves. They help to approach child-rearing with a fresh perspective, to understand children’s hearts, and to guide them correctly. While reading the book, every individual reflects on their own life, the events around them, and most importantly, their inner world.

In conclusion, Abdulloh Abdulmutiy Huda Said Bahlul’s work “My Ear is with You, My Daughter” is an invaluable treasure that deserves a place in every home library, bringing comfort to the heart and spiritual nourishment. Every girl who reads this book will feel stronger, more confident, and spiritually enriched. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to all young people, especially to girls who are seeking firm principles and spiritual guidance in their lives. I am confident that the wisdom found within its pages will illuminate your life even in its darkest moments.

Introduction

In today’s era of globalization, cultural, economic and scientific ties between the peoples of the world are gaining momentum. This process naturally also enhances the effect between languages. The wide penetration of foreign languages makes the issue of the position of our native language relevant, as well as a positive impact on the thinking, speech and worldview of the younger generation. The globalization process is one of the most important stages of human development 

He will strengthen social , economic, political integration of the entire Uzbek people, as well as the whole world

Transforming it into an information and communication space this process will certainly have a direct impact on the language system as well

Because language is not only a means of communication , a social phenomenon that preserves the cultural memory of its historical experience. The mother tongue – the foundation of the nation is a means of National thinking and self-realization . It is considered the most important factor that conveys social values , cultural heritage from generation to generation . 

As a weapon of communication , perception and thinking , language also characterizes how we see the world, the past reflects the connection between today and the future

The role of the native language in society is also directly related to its position in the fields of Science, Education, Literature and art.

The Uzbek language is enriched today through a system of scientific and technical terms, modern lexical units and translation work. Thanks to this, the Uzbek language is becoming not only a national means of communication, but also a means of scientific research, creativity and creative thinking, since the Internet has greatly influenced the globalization of the language. Through online platforms, people can connect with individuals from different cultures and languages, which leads to language harmonization and the development of hybrid forms.

The language of ingiliz in particular becomes a global lingua franca, influenced by different languages and dialects of the world

In the Republic of Uzbekistan, the status of the native language – Uzbek as the state language is enshrined in the Constitution of the country and the law “on the state language”. This situation provides a legal framework for the widespread use of the Uzbek language not only in the field of administrative management, but also in the fields of Education, Culture, Science, Media and international relations. Today, within the framework of the language policy, a number of programs are implemented to develop the Uzbek language, increase its prestige and promote it internationally. Hence, the role of the native language in society is an expression of the attitude of the people towards themselves, their own history and culture. Attention to language is attention to the nation, and appreciation of language is a pledge of national independence and spiritual elevation.

According to scientists, it turns out that in order for the language to survive, at least one million people need to speak it. However, such languages make up only 250 in the world. Uzbek is among these 250 languages. Currently, the number of Uzbek speakers is approaching 50 million people globally.

Parents have a great social responsibility in shaping the attitude of young people towards their native language. Each parent has a good education for their children, learning the language and making it 

should feel responsible for ensuring proper use. Currently, there are several problems in the field of language education. These include problems such as forgetting the native language, mixing native dialects or other languages, and narrowing of vocabulary

Language is the being of our nation, the sun of our hearts. Language is a social phenomenon that invigorates literature, increases the spiritual wealth of a nation. Both nationality and Literature Live if the language lives. The languages of the world are divided into several language families, depending on their origin, lexical and grammatical closeness. Earth

In the conditions of Uzbekistan, this issue is raised to the level of Public Policy, large-scale reforms are being carried out on the preservation and development of the language.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, at a time when the competition between languages is growing in the era of globalization, ensuring the role and perspective of the native language remains an urgent task . Although the prevalence of foreign languages in today’s era of globalization is a natural process, this situation should not be a reason for the decline in the prestige of national languages. On the contrary, taking them to a new level creates the opportunity to harmonize with modern technologies.

The role of language in maintaining the identity of each people in the context of globalization is incomparable.

Nowadays, Uzbek is recognized not only within the country, but also in the international arena, which shows its rich possibilities and charm.

Hence, the perspective of the native language is manifested in the affection, faith and practical activity of each citizen towards it. Language duck-means to duck the nation. While every young person deeply feels the beauty of his language, the rich vocabulary and cherishes it, the Uzbek language remains a symbol of national pride and unity not only today, but also in the lives of future generations.

Young white woman in a dark top and green necklace with long blonde hair and a headband.

THERE IS JOURNEY

If him is going Him had to

go If him is not returning

Him had to stay This

road has an end There is

ourney at the end of this

road There is leave There

is eternity Every human

As like every passenger

One day depart Him

completes his own life.

Poetry from Dr. Perwaiz Shaharyar

Middle aged Latina woman with dark curly hair and a black beret next to a lighted candle.

Dedicated to Jeannette Eureka, the Beloved of all of us:

Falling in My Sweetheart’s Love

So tough is to fall in a sweetheart’s love

Just fighting with eagles to survive a love

Because, eating a fruit by stealing tastes much

Offered fruit seems to be insipid as such

If there is no fear of being caught

No one will pinch a Lady of scout

Love needs daring and fools like a moor boy

A genius gentleman  cannot fully enjoy

Aristocrats and snobs  can praise a girl’s vanity

A rough-tough man can deeply appreciate the beauty

Love and lust have their different connotations

Love lasts, but lust loses instantly the compassions

Girls keep in your mind while love someone

Make sure your man loves only you and none

Lust is the first step to the actual love

If it is true it leads up to the divine love

God has created human beings not for worship

Angels are enough for worship men are meant to love

Love your neighbour love your companion

Love yourself before you love your woman

If you don’t love yourself first

It is not your love but merely a lust

Keep in mind that a good mind good find

If there is doubt in your mind the doubts you will find
