Dadam-suyanch togʻim
Dadam, siz mening suyanch togʻimsiz,
Sokin-nigohingiz butun borligʻimsiz.
Yiqilsam ham sezdirmay katta qilgansiz,
Ogʻir dardimno oʻzingiz olgansiz.
Qoʻllaringiz charchoqni bilmas goʻyo,
Biz uchun yashaysiz har kun, har doim.
Bir ogʻiz soʻzingiz-kuch, ishonch va najot,
Siz bilan yuragimda soʻnmaydi hayot.
Bolaligimda yelkangizda koʻtargansiz,
Katta bulsam ham, qalbingizda asragansiz.
Bir qarashingiz-ming soʻzdan ortiq,
Siz bor-dunyom yorugʻ, yoʻllarim ochiq.
Dada, sizsiz tasavvur qilolmayman oʻzimni,
Sizdan oʻrgandim sabrni, toʻgʻri soʻzni.
Men uchun siz-nafaqat ota, balki dunyoyimsiz,
Dada siz-mening faxrim, suyanchim, yagona togʻimsiz.
Dad is my rock
Dad, you are my rock,
Your calm gaze is my whole being.
Even if I fall,
you have raised me without me noticing,
You have taken my heavy pain on yourself.
It seems that your hands do not know fatigue,
You live for us every day, always.
One word from you is strength, trust and salvation,
With you, life does not fade in my heart.
You carried me on your shoulders when I was a child,
Even if I grow up, you have kept me in your heart.
One look from you is more than a thousand words,
You are my world, my paths are open.
Dad, I cannot imagine myself without you,
From you I learned patience, the right word.
For me, you are not only a father, but also my world,
Dad, you are my pride, my support, my only rock.

Dear Poet,
You reminded me just how much I love my own father. You reminded me of how powerful the relationship between a father and a daughter is. My father taught me to love, to respect, to understand. He proofread drafts of my early short stories. He always listens to the reciting of my poems, giving me feedback and advice. My father is a gifted teacher, remarkable healer, and brilliant writer. He has written about depression and stigma. He has written books and studied overseas. I have always wanted to follow in his footsteps. This poem brought a tear to my eye. Don’t stop writing your truth to power.
“Creativity, I am your bride.” — From “For Poets that I Love”, a poem that I wrote.
“No poet is inexhaustible. When fatigue comes as it must, it must be diagnosed. We must always strive towards the glorified.” — From Feeding The Beasts, my second poetry collection.
