Essay from Gulshoda Jo‘rabekovna Baxtiyorova

Central Asian woman with long dark hair in a ponytail and a white collared top and black vest.

A Devoted Soul
(To the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Miromonovich Mirziyoyev)

You burn with care both day and night,
For your homeland, you bear the pain.
Even the sharpest, finest pen
Would fall short trying to explain.

You’re a true heir of Amir Temur,
We’ve seen justice’s mighty reign.
The people pray with lifted hands,
For you have shared in all their pain.

You have sought the children’s future,
Your Five Initiatives show this well.
Science and high spirituality—
The only paths where hope may dwell.

Culture shows our humanity,
And sport ensures our health today.
This age we live—technology’s own,
Let readers’ numbers rise, we pray.

“A woman is the world’s stronghold,” they say,
Now they are under the state’s protection.
Thanks to you, their worth has risen,
You’ll live in history’s reflection.

Today our homeland shines with pride,
Sky-touching buildings rise so tall.
Great minds like Navoi and Sino,
Would smile to see our youth at all.

Because of you, our skies are clear,
You lead us swiftly toward success.
For our nation’s growth and glory—
Know we stand with you, nothing less!
