Essay from Alisherova Hurmatoy

Young Central Asian woman with an elegant black hat with a white lining, and black and white scarf.

I will not shed my tears, believe me, not a day,

My painful wounds will fade and drift away.

Until my final breath, I will not cry,

If once you say to me: “Do not, my dear.”

My heart is dressed in happiness alone,

No crowns or thrones before my eyes are shown.

You do not know—these moments are my bliss,

If once you whisper softly: “Do not cry.”

My tears will dry at once within my sight,

My sorrow will be chased away that night.

The scent of joy will rise from deep inside,

If once you gently say: “Do not cry.”

Perhaps you do not love me as I do,

But please, remember this—do not undo.

No world of countless realms could feel such cheer,

If once you tell my heart: “Do not cry.”

My name is Alisherova Hurmatoy. I was born on October 21, 2007, in Toshloq district of Fergana region, Republic of Uzbekistan. I graduated from Secondary School No. 4 in the same district with a GPA of 4.82. In 2024, I was recommended for admission to Fergana State University, majoring in Primary Education, on a state-funded (grant) basis.

In 2025, I became the holder of a 100% proficiency certificate in the Uzbek Language and Literature. Currently, I am both a student and a teacher, teaching native language and mathematics to students.

My life motto is: “Stopping for one day is equal to losing years.”

Speaking about my creative journey, I am a student of the poet Abdulla Boqiy Kenjaboyev, and I have been writing poetry since the age of 7–8. It has been ten years since I started writing poems. At present, I am working on publishing a book of my own authorship.

Behind every poem I write lie my mother’s prayers, my teachers’ trust, and a great deal of my own effort. A person does not become a poet by chance; it is said that poetic talent is a gift granted only to the chosen ones. I am truly happy to be among those chosen, and through this talent, I continuously strive to raise the name of Uzbekistan to even greater heights.
