Poetry from Gulchexra Iskandarova

Young teen Central Asian girl with a colorful embroidered headdress, brown eyes, a traditional garment with orange and white stitching on deep burgundy cloth, holding yellow flowers outside.

To my compatriots

You don’t give equal risk to everyone,

You whole family is a great happiness.

When separated from the gold and the state,

Don’t live in the world.

Don’t worry, don’t worry,

Enjoy the air and the sun.

Don’t let the rich world overflow,

Live close to what you find.

Don’t let sorrows infect your face,

Thank you for every second.

Help good people,

Be a good person, thank you.

Iskandarova Gulchehra was born in the Gallaorol district of Jizzakh region.
