(Bir kechaning esdaligi)

Yangigina yaproq yorib chiqqan chechak
Besh-olti kun har kim uchun tansiq bo‘lur.
«Bitdi isi», – deb tashlasa biror tentak,
Har kim tepsa, har kim ezsa, u haqlidir!
Besh-olti kun ko‘kraklarda ulug‘lanib,
«Men go‘zalman, chiroyliman!» – degan gulni,
Yerga tushgach, olib ko‘ring… so‘lg‘inlanib,
O‘lim tusli rangi bilan istar cho‘lni
Va aytarki: «Agar cho‘lda, biyobonda
Bir yovvoyi, hidsiz chechak bo‘lsa edim,
Uzib olib yerga urmas har inson-da,
Keng sahroda o‘zim yashnab, sarg‘ayardim!
Har xoin qo‘l meni yerga urmas edi,
Har bir oyoq ko‘kragimdan yurmas edi!..»

Toshkent. 1923, 3–mart
