O'zbegim

Tarixingdir ming asrlar ichra pinhon, o‘zbegim,
Senga tengdosh Pomiru Oqsoch Tiyonshon, o‘zbegim.
So‘ylasin Afrosiyobu so‘ylasin O’rxun xati,
Ko‘hna tarix shodasida bitta marjon, o‘zbegim.
Al Beruniy, Al Xorazmiy, Al Forob avlodidan,
Asli nasli balki O’zluq, balki Tarxon, o‘zbegim.
Sen na zardusht, sen na buddiy, senga na otash, sanam,
Odamiylik dini birla Toza imon, o‘zbegim.
Ma’rifatning shu’lasiga Talpinib zulmat aro,
Ko‘zlaringda okdi tunlar Kavkabiston, o‘zbegim.
Tuzdi-yu Mirzo Ulug‘bek Ko‘ragoniy jadvalin,
Sirli osmon tokiga ilk - qo‘ydi narvon, o‘zbegim.
Mir Alisher na’rasiga Aks-sado berdi jahon,
She’riyat mulkida bo‘ldi shohu sulton, o‘zbegim.
Ilmu she’rda shohu sulton,lek taqdiriga qul,
O’z elida chekdi g‘urbat, zoru nolon, o‘zbegim.
Mirzo Bobur - sen, fig‘oning Soldi olam uzra o‘t,
Shoh Mashrab qoni senda urdi tug‘yon, o‘zbegim.
She’riyatning gulshanida so‘ldi mahzun Nodira,
Siym tanni yuvdi ko‘z yosh, ko‘mdi armon, o‘zbegim.
Yig‘ladi furqatda Furqat ham muqimliqda Muqiym,
Nolishingdan Hindu Afg‘on qildi afg‘on, o‘zbegim.
Tarixing bitmakka, xalqim, mingta Firdavsiy kerak,
Chunki bir bor chekkan ohing mingta doston, o‘zbegim.
O’zbegim deb keng jahonga ne uchun madh etmayin!
O’zligim bilmoqqa davrim berdi imkon, o‘zbegim.
Men buyuk yurt o‘g‘lidurman, men bashar farzandiman,
Lek avval senga bo‘lsam sodiq o‘g‘lon, o‘zbegim.
​
Men Vatanni bog‘ deb aytsam, Sensan unda bitta gul,
Men Vatanni ko‘z deb aytsam, Bitta mujgon, o‘zbegim.
