O‘n sakkizga kirgan qishloq qizlarining yuzidek
Qip-qizargan yuzlaringdan bir o‘pish ber, shaftoli!
Senga qarab turganimda – bir ozgina bo‘lsa ham –
Bo‘lmas kabi, yo‘q kabidir… umidimning zavoli!

Umidimning zavoliga qon yig‘lagan ko‘zlarim
Yoshlarini yuzlaringga tomchi-tomchi to‘kdimi?
Yoki sevgi armonida shahid bo‘lgan yigitning
Yesir ruhi qoni bilan lablaringdan o‘pdimi?!

Mayli, sevgan oshiqlaring yuzlaringga to‘ymasin,
Lekin raqib lablaringga lablarini qo‘ymasin,

Zaharini quymasin!..

Qo‘qon. 1924, 3–aprel
