Why did the dawn wail turning flavescent its frontispiece? Because of the hidden sun was it sick more than I miss? If it were not mad like me, showing craziness in full, Like Mejnun – over the hills – would[…]
Олмос жилосидай тонг келур майин, Руҳингга ўрлаюр соф бўйи ҳулво, Саждага тўкилган ғунча қиздайин Дилбар не бор тағин бағрингда, дунё?! Нафис тебранади борлиқ шамолда, Кундуз тўрт тарафга сочилади ризқ Гўдагин эмизиб турган аёлдан Тотлироқ нима бор: муҳаббат ё ишқ?! Рангин[…]

Почтамга бирин-кетин адабий таржима билан боғлиқ иккита хат келди: биттаси кексайиб қолган номаълум ва умидвор шоирдан, иккинчиси ёши улуғ, нафақадор таржимондан. Шоиримиз аввал ҳам кўп марта каминага мактуб ёзиб, гўёки унга жавоб ёзмаганим учун қаттиқ хафа бўлади, катта ҳарфлар билан[…]
