Xira, o‘chgan, kirlik, kuchsiz dillarga
Yorug‘ yog‘du, turmush sepgan yangi kun
Sira sevinch bermas o‘zbek qiziga,
Yo‘qsa, unga mangulikmi qora tun?

Necha yuz yil kishanlarda entikkan
Qashshoq, yo‘qsil, tutqunlarga erk berar,
O‘zbek qizi: «Boshqalarga erk bergan,
Menga qani erking?..» – desa, ne deyar?

Ko‘klardagi dona-dona sochilgan
Yulduzlarmi ezgu kunni olqishlar?
Kimga tegar yulduz ko‘zdan otilgan
Achchiq, gina, mala’natlar, qarg‘ishlar?

Guloy, To‘ti, Qumri, Oyxon, Yorqinlar
Navro‘z kuni devorlarga qaraylar.
Ko‘chalarda er-qizlardan oqinlar,
Tutqunlarning yonlariga kirmaylar.

Qatorlarga ularni ham olmaylar,
Tutqunlarni kishiga ham sanmaylar…
Tutqunlarning ko‘z yoshlari bahorning
Shudringidek go‘zallikni ho‘llaylar.

«Go‘zallikni sevdim» degan erkinlar
Ko‘rib turib uyalmaylar, o‘lmaylar!..

Navro‘z kuni erksizlarga erk berar,
O‘zbek qizi erkli kunda bo‘sholmay,

Zindon kabi tor uyidan chiqolmay,
Qalin, og‘ir devorlarni yiqolmay,
Borlig‘ini keng dunyoga otolmay,
Chin erk kunin kuta-kuta telmirar…

Toshkent. 1921, 27–aprel
