Among the books I needed to read was O’tkir Hoshimov’s collection of stories, ”O’zbeklar” Immersing myself in the reading, I became one with the characters. This work speaks of how simple, sincere, and hardworking the Uzbek people are. Despite each story in the book being written in a simple, folk style, it finds a place in the reader’s heart with its basis in real events. The work pays great attention to feelings such as patriotism, love for one’s homeland, and concern for its future. The Uzbek people’s readiness to sacrifice their lives for the Motherland, their struggle for its freedom and independence, is one of the main parts of the story.
In conclusion, the story ‘O’zbeklar’ is a vivid work that reflects the image of the Uzbek people, their inner world, and their attitude towards life, awakening national feelings, and promoting the ideas of humanity and patriotism.
This work has been flawlessly presented as a gift to students, and my enjoyment of it is a testament to my good fortune!”

Her face appeared, Moons in her veil, In rosy, red like coral…When she removed a veil from her full moon, and shyness adorned her gaze…
Ah, my beloved…!! After you, Will I see…? A full moon I converse with in the sky of my horizon, And love asks: Where is the reader of the verse of passion…?! In embrace and union…
For your eyes, A poem tempts me…From the clarity of your intoxicating glance. My soul is reborn, and for your union, I wrote poetry as ink. The hunter of your heart. I strive towards that heart, And the eyes’ confession Of longing openly To a beloved… who stood at my door…And what she hid from my eyes openly, I see in her beauty the chapter of embrace…

Every nation has great figures who become its pride and honor. We, the Uzbek people, are justly proud of our poetess Zulfiya, whose beautiful poems, penetrating our literature, spirituality, and delicate hearts, have captured the hearts of millions. In nurturing love for the Motherland, respect for the native language, and feelings of kindness and compassion in the hearts of the young generation, the works of this great figure play a significant role.
One of the talented students studying at our school, Zahro Qahramonova, is among those gifted girls who embody such human emotions in her heart and who has developed a love for the art of words. In every line of poetry, Zahro feels beauty, sincerity, dreams, and aspiration. When she reads a poem, she becomes inspired just like little Zulfiya. She gives every word a place in her heart and brings each image to life in her imagination.
For us teachers, this is a great happiness — to work with students whose hearts are filled with love for poetry and whose souls shine with dreams. Zahro’s noble intentions, her dedication to creativity, and her ability to reflect on great themes such as the Motherland, mother, nature, and peace, give us reason to call her a true “little Zulfiya.”
Zulfiya’s proud lines, “I am the daughter of Uzbekistan”, today have become a life motto for thousands of girls like Zahro. We believe that today’s little Zulfiyas will grow into tomorrow’s enlightened, devoted, and creative women. Zahro is one of those girls who is confidently stepping toward such dreams.
Unwavering support and non-judgmental attitude makes the bonds more precious
Positive attitude with good mindset
is a boon with grace and respect
Nonchalant attitude destroying
imbalances of minds calling for
disrespect, harassment and rapes
also lapses in moral decadences
Attitude in itself is a superpower
It’s based on the way how you’re being treated
Let there be voice and not merely an echo to fade
The positive attitude brings accolades to lasting success
Keep up your attitude in grace as you’re born to express yourself
A fundamental force influencing your actions
Bearing a strong ethical values
Unconsciously cultivated prelude to action
Reflections of our inner self through challenges of daily life
We are responsible for shaping our own lives with a blend of attitude.

ELEGANCE OF LOVE
Dancing through the moonbeams
so enchanting
Under the twinkling stars in the amidst of challenges
Yet keeping us connected
with firm determination in mind
Waiting with patience and perseverance for your kisses so warm and sweet
I decorate each ray so magical
Crafted every verse I write
Unparalleled embodiment
weaving tapestry of dreams
soaked in the elegance of love
Unravelling the deepest mysteries
Transporting down the abyss of heart
Awakening the soul from slumber’s deep
Unfolding the stories untold
Drifting my thoughts where dreams reside
Through the night so inviting
I paint the canvas besides
the vistas unknown
Embracing one another
We renew our bond of love
Knitting the web of trust
We mingle in the breathes so warm
Never to let you go
For I live in the sheets
of crumpled linen
Wrapped in the scents of your body
Where I hear the echoes
of your silence
lying under the twinkling stars.
