For you, I gave up countless things, So come deserving, my destined one. For you, I kept my soul pure and clean, So keep yourself pure for me, my only one.
Every word within my heart is yours, All my dreams are light that leads to you. I live for you, I long for you, May we meet one day in sacred truth.
Your absence has worn my heart away, I cry your name — where are you now? My waiting eyes are fading day by day, My heart grows tired of asking how.
Even the nights ask of my pain, The stars reflect your gentle face. Each breath repeats your unknown name, Each moment without you leaves a trace.
I watch the roads with endless hope, “Perhaps today you’ll come,” I pray. Waiting for you is my hardest test, But loving you — my brightest fate.
Each dawn I wake with thoughts of you, Each moment dreams your presence near. I place my pain in God’s safe hands, And let my patience conquer fear.
Come blessed like my midnight prayer, Come beautiful like dawn’s first light. Even if late, just come, my love — My heart still waits through darkest night.
But come unwavering, faithful, true, Unchanged by time or passing years. For you, I’ll wait as long as fate allows, Yet come sincere, without fears.
Come loyal, never to be replaced, My lifetime’s lawful, destined part. For you, I’ll wait till endless days, O come, my soulmate, to my heart.

Abstract:This article discusses methods of forming knowledge about the concept of “Text” in primary school students and ways to organize the lesson. The main purpose of the article is to clarify the views of future educators and teachers on how to teach the subject “Mother Tongue” in primary school, as well as to provide special methodological recommendations for 1st grade students to understand and deeply master the topic “Text.” Opinions are given on the use of various methods so that children do not get bored during lessons.
It is no secret that we have been surprising other countries with our science for centuries. Each era has had its own scientists and philosophers, who left behind disciples and passed on their knowledge to us. It is no exaggeration to say that one of the most pressing issues today is obtaining knowledge, learning professions and teaching them to young people, continuing the tradition of teacher-student relationships.
Our esteemed head of state also noted, not without reason, that “we have set ourselves the great goal of laying the foundation of the Third Renaissance in our country, and for this we must create an environment and conditions that will nurture new Khorezmians, Berunis, Ibn Sina, Ulugbeks, Navoiys, and Baburs.”
Of course, a number of reforms are being implemented in our country in this regard. The main goal of us, educators, is to prepare the necessary personnel for the future generation. In this article, we will outline our recommendations for forming the concept of “Text” in primary school students and gaining in-depth knowledge of this topic.
Review of used literature
It is important for each growing young generation to be able to speak their own language fluently. Therefore, for the good development of speech in children, “Text” and working with it are taught from the 1st grade. In this regard, D. Sh. Yuldasheva’s 1st grade “Mother Language” (Part 1) textbook is an important source for providing students with in-depth knowledge. This textbook provides a number of exercises, and each task encourages the student to think independently. The short and clear rules in the textbook create a basis for children to master the topic without difficulty.
For example, the definition, “A text is made up of sentences. Two or more sentences connected by content are called a text,” forms an initial idea of the text. The brevity and consistency of the rule serve as a foundation for the topics that will be covered later.
In order to educate students, the 2nd grade textbook “Mother Language” by K. Qosimova, S. Fuzailov, and A. Ne’matova, published in 2018, is also being used. This textbook defines a text as follows: “A text is two or more sentences that are interconnected in content. A title can be given to the text.”
The above textbooks are used to teach children today. We will also share our thoughts on how to organize a lesson using these textbooks.
Research methodology
In the 2023 edition of the “Mother Language” textbook, there are several tasks given in accordance with the topic “Text”, and we prepare the way for students to explain the topic by completing these tasks. For example, in exercise 1 of this textbook, a text is given and it is stated that it should be given a suitable title. We, as educators, should not just complete this exercise, but approach this situation creatively. While reading the text, we are also required to directly enter the role and use various pictures to develop imagination in the minds of children. After all, children’s attention is considered to be fast-moving, and they do not pay attention to simple things. Pictures and videos, exhibition materials help increase the creative potential of students. We conducted such a study among students. The main purpose of this study was to determine which way is more effective for students to explain the text. Two parallel classes, 1st “A” and 1st “B”, were given a text on the topic “Wild Forest”. 1st “A” class was shown pictures of various wild animals and had them act out the characters. 1st “B” class was given a simple text.
Results
After a day, each child was asked about their thoughts in order to determine how the text was formed in the students’ memory and imagination. The results of the study showed that students of grade 1 “B” did not fully understand the text, and their understanding of wild animals was not sufficiently formed in their minds. 60-70 percent of students could not remember the text. Students of grade 1 “A” showed excellent results. All children had formed understandings of the text and were able to describe each animal.
Analysis
Our conclusions from the study are as follows:
—It is necessary to organize the lesson without monotony in providing knowledge to students. After all, today’s youth are curious and get bored very quickly.
—During the lesson, it is necessary to effectively use various methods, including video and picture materials. Children’s attention is quickly shifting and often shifts from one thing to another.
—When working with a story or text, if the text is read while entering the images, the expected results will be achieved faster.
Whether we have acquired new knowledge or learned something new, we are not considered to have fully mastered this knowledge until we try it in practice. When we put it into practice, we become one of those who have benefited from this knowledge. Therefore, we should not demand this knowledge from our students without ensuring that they do so in practice. From this perspective, it is appropriate for the teacher to give the children the task of writing a short text about family members.
The text plays an important role in shaping the worldview of students. Each text provides information about an instructive event or about something and an event. It is considered very useful for children who do not have an understanding of this at first. At the same time, the student’s speech becomes fluent. The vocabulary of the Uzbek language increases. Therefore, organizing a lesson using instructive stories and interesting facts in the lesson is an important factor in improving the teacher’s pedagogical skills. During work with students, the teacher should not only impart knowledge, but also develop the skills to apply them in practice. One such exercise is to clarify the extent to which children have mastered the text, requiring each student to sequentially recite information about this text.
During the organization of the lesson, we may encounter a number of problems. In particular, children may not fully understand the given text. The reason for this is the abundance of scientific terms in the text, the essence of the topic is not fully disclosed. When we encounter similar problematic situations, we should try to explain to children in a simpler way. Only then will we be able to achieve the expected result.
Conclusion
The world is developing rapidly. In order to take our place on the world stage, we must constantly seek and learn. Realizing that our future is in the hands of young people, we cannot be indifferent to their education and upbringing. The role of teachers in this path is extremely important. In our article, we have given useful recommendations for teachers. In this article, we have given our opinions on the formation of the concept of “Text” among primary school teachers. Through research, we have analyzed which path is correct. We have studied in detail what the main goal of teaching text is.

Back to this place, on the eve of the Year of the Horse
This homeland where I once lived for years
Harbored the first bud of dreams, wrapped in the warmth of attachment
Also bore the twists of fate, and the unspoken journeys of the past
Old friends have all left for their homes, the streets still familiar
I go alone for a meal, to the small shop with childhood tastes
Light clinks of bowls and chopsticks, no one by my side
No more the warm eyes I long to see
No need to force a smile, no need to echo polite greetings
Quiet thoughts run deep in my heart, only shared with myself
Filter out the false noise and entanglements of the world
This dinner is the peace of being alone, the loneliness of standing on a height
The higher you fly, the farther from the mortal world
Few appreciate the high melody, and truly understanding souls grow fewer
The wind of the higher dimension brushes my shoulders above the nine heavens
Why linger on the trivial chirps of mortal birds on the ground
Like a phoenix spreading its wings, soaring above the sea of clouds
Why pause the forward resolve for the trivialities of mortal dust
This dinner tastes the warmth and cold of human relationships
I see the world clearly, and hear the true answer of my heart
This is a dinner of pride, a calm of rising steadily
A quiet joy held fast, after seeing through the world
Let go of the bonds of the past, head for the distant mountains and seas
A dinner alone is also a completeness of one’s own
Homeland has no bounds; where the heart is at peace is home
When the heart holds the world’s mountains and rivers, every place is a blooming homeland
Blood ties are not the only way home; warmth can bloom even among strangers
Where someone understands you, cherishes you, and keeps you in their heart
That is the best haven in the world
Mountains and seas can all be crossed; a heart bond knows no distance
Even across thousands of rivers and miles, never met before
When souls know each other, we are close at hand
With love as the boundary, with the heart as the soil
The whole world is homeland, and there is the light of understanding souls everywhere on earth
sheltered during the electrical storm
by my grandmother's freckled arm

The power of the sword kills the person
It doesn’t change the world

The sword may rule the world with fear,
The pen shows power and calls another ‘ My Dear.’
The pen shows your signature,
The sword shows your anger

The pen shows that you’re capable of much more,
No way less than the other.
You can erase if you make a mistake.

The Enduring Literary Legacy of Zulfiya in Uzbek National Culture
Sultonova Shahlo Baxtiyor qizi
UZSWLU, Student
Abstract
This article explores the literary legacy of Zulfiya and her profound influence on Uzbek literature and cultural identity. The study analyzes the thematic richness of her poetry, her representation of women, and her historical significance within twentieth-century Uzbek literary development. Through a qualitative review of literary scholarship, this paper argues that Zulfiya’s works remain a moral and artistic foundation for contemporary Uzbek writers.
Keywords: Zulfiya, Uzbek literature, women in poetry, national identity, lyrical poetry
Uzbek literature has produced many influential poets whose works shaped the intellectual and emotional life of the nation. Among them, Zulfiya occupies a special and respected position. As a poet, public intellectual, and cultural symbol, she contributed significantly to the formation of modern Uzbek literary consciousness in the twentieth century.
Born in 1915 in Tashkent, Zulfiya emerged as a literary voice during a period of social and political transformation. Her poetry reflected both personal emotion and collective experience. Unlike purely romantic poets, she combined lyrical tenderness with civic responsibility. This unique balance established her as one of the most important figures in Uzbek poetry.
This article examines three major aspects of her legacy: thematic depth, representation of women, and national-cultural influence.
Historical and Literary Context
The twentieth century was a period of ideological change and modernization in Central Asia. Literature was expected to reflect social ideals while preserving national traditions. According to the National Encyclopedia of Uzbekistan (2000), Zulfiya became one of the poets who successfully integrated traditional Uzbek poetic imagery with contemporary social themes.
Her early works focused on youth, hope, and love for the homeland. Over time, her poetry matured, expressing philosophical reflection and emotional resilience. Literary historians argue that her ability to maintain sincerity under ideological pressure demonstrates her artistic strength (Karimov, 2015).
Thematic Richness in Zulfiya’s Poetry
One of the most distinctive features of Zulfiya’s творчество is its thematic diversity. Her poems explore:
• Love and devotion
• Patriotism and national pride
• Friendship and loyalty
• Nature and beauty
• Moral strength and patience
Unlike many poets of her time, Zulfiya’s patriotic poetry was not abstract or rhetorical. Instead, it was deeply emotional. She presented the homeland not as a political concept but as a living, spiritual reality connected to family, memory, and language.
Nature imagery plays an essential role in her poetry. Flowers, seasons, rivers, and gardens are not merely decorative elements; they symbolize renewal, hope, and continuity. Scholars emphasize that her use of natural metaphors connects personal emotion with collective identity (Rasulov, 2018).
Furthermore, her poetry often conveys optimism. Even when addressing loss or hardship, she maintains a tone of dignity and faith in the future. This optimistic realism became one of her defining characteristics.
The Image of Women in Her Works
Zulfiya’s contribution to women’s representation in Uzbek literature is especially significant. In many traditional literary texts, women were portrayed primarily as romantic figures. However, Zulfiya expanded this image.
According to Rasulov (2018), her lyrical heroines are emotionally sensitive yet intellectually strong. They demonstrate patience, moral courage, and independence. Through her poems, Zulfiya challenged stereotypes and presented women as active participants in social and cultural life.
Her personal biography also strengthened her symbolic role.
After the tragic death of her husband, poet Hamid Olimjon, she continued her literary work with resilience and dignity. This personal strength influenced her poetic voice and public image.
Today, the Zulfiya State Prize is awarded annually to talented young women in Uzbekistan, reinforcing her legacy as a symbol of female excellence and intellectual achievement (National Encyclopedia of Uzbekistan, 2000).
Stylistic Features and Artistic Technique
Zulfiya’s style can be described as lyrical, clear, and emotionally expressive. She avoided overly complex structures and preferred clarity of language. However, simplicity in her poetry does not mean lack of depth. Her lines often contain philosophical meaning beneath accessible vocabulary.
Her artistic techniques include:
• Symbolism (flowers, spring, light)
• Emotional contrast (hope vs. sorrow)
• Gentle rhythm and musicality
• Personal voice combined with collective experience
Karimov (2015) argues that her ability to blend individual feeling with national spirit places her among the central figures of modern Uzbek lyric poetry.
Cultural and National Significance
Zulfiya’s influence extends beyond literature. She became a cultural symbol of dignity, intelligence, and patriotism. Schools, institutions, and awards bearing her name demonstrate the institutional recognition of her impact.
In post-independence Uzbekistan, her poetry gained renewed attention as part of national identity reconstruction. Her works are studied in schools and universities, ensuring that younger generations remain connected to their literary heritage.
Moreover, her emphasis on moral values — honesty, loyalty, kindness — remains relevant in contemporary society. In an era of globalization, her poetry reminds readers of the importance of cultural roots and ethical responsibility.
In conclusion, Zulfiya’s literary legacy is multidimensional. She was not only a talented poet but also a cultural figure who shaped national consciousness and elevated the role of women in literature. Her thematic richness, stylistic clarity, and moral strength continue to inspire scholars and young writers.
Studying Zulfiya today is not merely an academic task; it is a way of understanding the spiritual foundations of Uzbek culture. Her poetry remains a living testimony to the power of sincerity, resilience, and artistic devotion.
