Gratitude — The Essence of a Happy Life

Give thanks for this beautiful land we call our own,
For this blessed garden God has graciously sown.
May our ancestors’ spirits guide us from above,
And may Uzbekistan’s borders stretch as far as our love.

As my parents once wished for me with all their heart,
So I prayed to God for you, right from the start.
As my parents cherished me with tender care,
So shall I cherish you, my homeland fair.

Thanks be to Allah, whose blessings shine so bright,
For letting me behold this land of pure delight.
Thanks be to Allah, whose grace has made it true,
That I was born in this blessed land, beneath its skies so blue.

One heartfelt prayer to Allah I send,
May peace in our homeland never end.
Let us raise our nation’s glory high,
And be an example for the young ones who follow by!
