Yaproq, yaproq…putoqlarda
Qaltirag’an varam yaproq.
Yuzlaringni so’ng choqlarda
Bugun bosib ketgan tuproq.

Ot o’tganu chang chiqargan,
Changlar kelib senga qo’ng’an.
Qo’ng’an changlar qola berg’an,
Shular bilan ranging o’nggan…

Yana har kun yo’ldan o’tgan
Har oyoqdan chang qo’zg’alar,
Keng ko’chadan ko’tarilgan
Har bir zarra senda qolar…

Sening ko’m-ko’k toza yuzing
Ko’zga taqir ko’rinmaydir.
Shaftolimi, olxirotmi,
Ko’ksultonmi – kimsan o’zing?
Tiriklikdan nishon bormi?
Nega sira bilinmaydir?

Seni siypab, erkalatib,
Asta-sekin ko’kartirgan
Go’zal ko’klam o’tib ketdi!
Hozir yozning eng yetilgan
Qirchillama vaqti yetdi.
Sen yotasan changga botib…

Erta-indin qovog’ini
Burishtirib kuz ham kelsa,
To’plab idish – oyog’ini
Sekin-sekin yoz ham jilsa.

Chang ostida sarg’ayasan
Bir pirpirab yerga tushib,
Kechalarni to’ng’ib, ushib,
Oxir yerga yem bo’lasan.

Aynib berib havo agar
Hozir yomg’ir yog’sa edi.
Betingdagi sariq changlar
Loyqalanib oqsa edi.

Yozning alvon ko’ylagiga
To’yib-to’yib qarar eding,
Bir gulman-ku men ham unga
Deb maqtanib yon-beringga
Bir ozgina yayrar eding…

– Sevinchi ber!
ko’k yalangga
Qora bulut chodir qurdi.
Yuzingdagi qalin changga
Tomchi-tomchi nam yugurdi!

Oq tomchilar tasbih yangliq
Cho’zulushib chizildilar.
Seni ezgan tuproqlar ham
– Ko’kdan tushgan to’qmoq bilan –
Xo’p yanchilishib ezildilar!

Chang ostidan chiqmoq bilan
Silkinishib bir jonlilik
Ko’rsatarlar tengrangdagi
Alamzada yaproqlar ham!
Shudir yozning asli ranggi!..
