Poetry from Ismailov Shukurillo

Homeland

Navoi’s blood flows in my veins,

Jalaluddin left a legacy, his soul. 

Temur’s glory gives pride,

Kutlug is on my tongue – Homeland, the word.

Your flag of Hilpirar, fly over my head, 

Children in your arms, every moment is sweet. 

Without you, the seven worlds are too narrow for me. 

Your land is holy, and all around it. 

Motherland – you are lonely in the flower beds, 

My dear bird, you are the best in the world. 

You are the genius who gave the climate,

You can’t find a comparison with me.

Abdullah Ariflar, Erkin Vahidlar,

It is written – a beautiful ode for you, 

My hands tremble, all are witnesses, 

Your name still stands – between the lips…

I started it, and now there’s no going back. 

My heart flutters – in my heart. 

There’s no way, but it’s never been said,

A passionate name, the word “Motherland” is on the tip of the tongue.
