Go‘zal qushlar! Mening munda borligim
Hech sababsiz qo‘rqitadir sizlarni!
Sira qo‘rqmang! Sayray bering erkinlab
Ko‘nglingizda yashrin yotgan sirlarni!

Ham dalada, ham bog‘chada tinch bo‘ling!
Tutmoq uchun sizga tuzoq qo‘ymayman,
Erkinlikda erkli bo‘lib yashashning
Qimmatini men o‘zim ham bilaman!..

Toshkent. 1922, 20–avgust
