Qish oldida
Ko‘klam ketidan yozni uzatdik, u-da ketdi.
Kuzning-da bulutli, qora davri kelib – o‘tdi.
Barglar yana sarg‘aydi, to‘kildi… yana bo‘shlik…
Qushlar yana to‘p-to‘p qochalar… qarg‘a faqat shod!
Har narsada bir qayg‘u, kadar, rangi so‘lishlik…
Ichdangina, tinsizgina har narsada bir «dod»…
Dunyo yaratilganda xunuk, chirkin emish-da,
Ko‘klam bila yoz unga kiyimlar kiygizarmish.
Kuz hech ko‘ra olmas, ichi tor, qizg‘in emish-da,
Har narsani so‘ldirguvchi qo‘lni tegizarmish.
Kuz davrida dunyo kiyimi qolmas emish-da,
Qish chog‘ida unga qaramoqlik-da yomonmish.
Bir qarg‘a faqat ko‘zlarini olmas emish-da,
Qarg‘a shu uchun qishda kuyarmish-da, yonarmish…
Holbuki, na kuzdan va na qishdan yuz o‘girmay,
Har qaysisidan ko‘nglim uchun topdim o‘yinlar.
Yozlar kabi qishlarda-da g‘am rangini ko‘rmay,
O‘tmoqda quyosh qo‘ynida kunlar kabi tunlar!
Dunyo kiyimi yirtiq esa, qayg‘u kerakmas,
Kunning birida yerga tushar paxta kabi qor.
Dunyo taniga qor kiyimi nega kelishmas?
Oqlik ichida qop-qora ko‘z… o‘t kabi chaqnar!
Ko‘klam kabi qishning-da go‘zal gullari bordir,
Yozlar kabi qishlarda-da oltin kechalar bor.
Ko‘klam kabi qishning-da go‘zal tunlari bordir,
Qishlarda-da yozlar kabi jon – mug‘bachalar bor!
Ko‘klam-da ketib, yoz-da bitib, kuz-da tugaldi;
Ey qish bobo, chiq o‘rtaga, navbat senga keldi!..
