I recap the day I received my first rejection letter. It was a crisp, cold, white envelope, sealed tight, a typed letter inside, with painful news tonight. Disappointment delivered, in formal lines, ending hopes, with words that cut like knives, saying in the later: “Dear poet, Thank you so much for your wonderful submission. Unfortunately, after a careful evaluation of your work, we have decided to pass on it. We hope to receive more from you in the future.” I was 31 years old, and it felt like the end of the world.
But I didn’t give up. I held on to that glimmer-of-light, took a deep breath, revised my manuscript, reviewed it, & edited it to my humble satisfaction. I now learned to submit with a wise approach; to read each literary magazine, with a careful eye to tailor my words to their poetic tide. With that method from that day on, I became a reader & that writer who has never come across rejection has never submitted. Meanwhile, as a writer, you have to be patient & humble. That moment taught me the value of persistence. Writing is a journey of twists and turns, rejections and acceptances. It’s easy to get discouraged, but the true test of a writer’s mettle is their ability to keep going.

Abstract: In this article, we will focus on the life and activities of our beloved poet Zulfia. Although Zulfiyakhanim faced many difficulties, she never stopped striving in life. She was able to be a selfless and loving mother for her children. In addition, she did not stop her creative activity. She also founded a publishing house to improve people’s education. Her services and cultural heritage for our youth are incomparable. A state prize in her name was also established for our female poets.
Key words: Zulfiya, life path, woman, magazine, poem, “Worker”, “Happiness”
A number of our linguists and literary experts have expressed their opinion about the poetess. For example, Azod Sharafiddinov, the national hero of Uzbekistan, “I miss you, sister Zulfia!” in the article entitled: “Zulfia is a famous poetess, a great statesman, active in public affairs, a person in the eyes of the people. But she was first of all a woman, and even when she was a woman, she was an Uzbek woman. She had a certain duty as a woman. She lost her husband Hamid Olimjon early, she raised their children by herself.
“- My sister Zulfia used to walk in big circles throughout her life. They held face-to-face conversations with scientists, poets, and politicians not only of our country, but also of sister republics, and many foreign countries. The sister was very proud. In some circles, as poets and publishers, they could not afford to lose to someone in debates about literature and history. Of course, the fact that they are interested in this field is the reason why they read classical literature, Eastern and Western literature in general, our own history, and also world history. But in order to be equal in circles, our teacher must have studied a lot. He knew our classical literature very well.”

Musurmonova Feruza (teacher of mother tongue and literary science at the comprehensive school No. 63 in Zhargorgan District, Surkhandarya Region) in her article on “The Uniqueness of Zulfia’s Life and Work” wrote: “To sum up In addition to being a poetess with a special place in Uzbek poetry, Mrs. Zulfiyakhanim was also a woman with all the noble qualities of this nation as a person. Today, by writing this article and taking a deeper look at Zulfiyakhanim’s work, I am once again convinced that no matter how many conflicting, difficult and complicated paths Uzbek literature has traveled in the 20th century, it has a number of literal creative people grew up and Zulfiyakhanim was one of the shining stars among them. In today’s days of independence, their creations are showing new aspects.
Zulfiyakhanim’s life and work is an example for all women. Because her hard work in life, her constant striving for progress, her faithfulness in love, her unceasing pursuit of artistic creativity, her persistence in the face of life’s difficulties, and the fact that she does not lose himself in the face of achievements, arouse envy in the heart of any girl or woman.
In her article “The Life and Unforgettable Work of the Uzbek Poet Zulfiya Khanim” under the theme of “Remembering Zulfiya” Shahida Zhoraboyeva, a second-year student of the Faculty of Preventive Medicine, wrote: In addition to being a poet with a special place, she was also a woman with all the noble qualities of this people as a person.
Today, by writing this article and taking a deeper look at Zulfiyakhanim’s work, I am once again convinced that no matter how many conflicting, difficult and complicated paths Uzbek literature has traveled in the 20th century, it has a good number of literary artists grew up and one of the shining stars among them was Zulfiyakhanim. In today’s days of independence, their creations are showing new aspects.
Zulfiya Israilova, who is embodied in the image of a beloved poetess of our people, a devoted woman, was born on March 1, 1915. His father Ismail worked as a blacksmith. The famous writer began her first education in 1922-1931. For the next three years, she continued her education at the girls’ school. In 1935-1938, the poetess studied at the Institute of Language and Literature. Her first poem was published in “Ishchi” newspaper in 1931. In 1932, a collection of poems “Life Leaflets” was published. After that, her poetry books such as “Temiroy”, “She’rlar”, “Girls’ Song” were published. The greatest success of the poetess was brought to her by the collections “He called her Farhad”, “Hijran Kunlarida”, and “Hulkar”.
Due to the untimely death of her husband Hamid Olimjon, the poetess fell into a very depressed mood. Despite this, Zulfia took an active part in the movement of Asian and African writers of peace and international solidarity in the second half of the 1950s, and traveled to many countries of the world. It is no exaggeration to say that poems such as “Mushoira”, “My son won’t die of war”, “The dead of Kazakhstan”, “The picture I didn’t draw” brought Zulfia great fame.
She created “Lolaqizgaldok” series of poems dedicated to children. Based on the epic “Semurg or Parizod and Bunyod”, she wrote the play “Semurg” for the puppet theater and the libretto for the opera “Zaynab and Amon”. Many of her works have seen the world. Zulfia was a laureate of the international Jawaharlal Nehru (1968), “Nilufar” (1971) awards and the State Prize of Uzbekistan named after Hamza (1970). Sh translated the works of a number of writers such as A. S. Pushkin, N. A. Nekrasov, M. Vaqif, E. Ognetsvet, Mustay Karim, Amrita Pritam into Uzbek.
In order to show how incomparable her services are, the state award named after Zulfia was established. Our creator not only went down in history as a poetess, but also worked effectively in the fields of journalism and publishing. She did a lot of work in the field of publishing. To give an example, she was the editor of the children’s publishing house, the head of the department at the state publishing house of Uzbekistan, and she founded the “Saodat” magazine and worked as the editor-in-chief of this magazine for about thirty years.
Now, let’s talk about the history of “Saodat” magazine. The magazine is published in Azim Tashkent, our capital. It was brought to the attention of readers only eight times during one year. It was first published under the name “New Way” in 1925-1934. Later, it was published in 1936-1950 under the name “Bright Life”. Then it operated under the name “Women of Uzbekistan” from 1950 to 1965.
But due to some reasons or because of the war, it was not published within a certain period. The magazine contains short stories, poems, useful food recipes for our women and girls, and new, modern dress styles for the elderly. Among these are stories such as “Singer of Enlightenment”, “Rostonbuvi Told the Truth”, “Mother”, “Parnji is the beauty of the past”, “Songs”, “Kochaga Handon Uyga Zindon”. In addition, this magazine has separate sections, such as advice for cooks, various Chinese words, puzzles, children’s sports and health, hair care according to hygiene rules, and advice for hairdressing. Each issue also contains a table of contents.

2nd stage student of Samarkand state university named after Sharof Rashidov Interesting facts you don’t know about Azim Bukhara.
The word Bukhara is a combination of the words “Bukh” and “oro” and means “Beauty of God”. Bukhara region is one of the Islamic cities. Because scholars and scholars who raised Islam to higher levels were born here. Imam al-Bukhari is one of such people, he collects the hadiths from the time of our Prophet until his own time in the book “Sahih Bukhari” divided into sahih-“reliable” and inauthentic-“unreliable”. His mind was very sharp, and some narrations have been given about it. His contemporaries say that not even 1 dirham, earned without hard work, entered his house.
In addition, the doctor Abu Ali Ibn Sina, who served as the foundation for the development of medical science, was born in Afshana village of Bukhara. His works were taught as textbooks in Europe until the 17th century. He wrote about 20 books devoted to the science of medicine. One of them is the 5-volume “Laws of Medicine” book.
Bukhara is the birthplace of seven great Sufis of the Naqshbandi order. The great representatives of Sufism lived here, engaged in religious and social activities, and contributed to the birth and prosperity of blessed Bukhara, spiritual education and raising the emotional spirit. Here, the burial places of the holy Sufis – pyres and Islamic shrines – have been preserved. This ring starts with Khwaja Abdulkhaliq Gijduvani, Khwaja Arif Revgari, Khwaja Mahmud Anjirfag’navi, Khwaja Ali Romitani, Khwaja Muhammad Baba Samosi, Khwaja Sayyid Amir Kulol with Khwaja Bahauddin Naqshband. ends. We can see foreign tourists as well as local visitors to visit the seven piers. Sayyid Vasliy Samarkandi’s work “Nazm al-silsila” written in Tajik language in 1913 contains information about seven pir silsila.
Pier 1 is located in my district. There are 2 things that made this district famous. One of them is the mausoleums of Abdukholiq Gijduvani, and the second is the official patent of Gijduvan shashliks.
Now, if we talk about gijduvan shashliks, gijduvan shashliks are very tasty. They also have several types. Tandoori shashlik is especially popular. Our country is rich in beauties. I hope we can gain new knowledge through this information.
