To‘ra Sulaymon and his poems

In “Iltijo” the revival of nature with the coming of spring is first described, then spring becomes the image of goodness, life and the homeland. At the end of each stanza the lyric hero asks spring not to leave his garden; the textbook explains this as the peaceful, constructive days of the homeland and love for the native land. In “Armon” the lyric hero lists in what cases his heart fills with regret: if his grandfather’s dreams do not come true, if an innocent goes astray, if a companion is left on the road, if with the gardener standing there a stranger overruns the garden. The textbook says that this poem carries concerns not only personal but about the fate of the people and the nation, and interprets the line about someone left hanging, with earth standing and sky standing, as meaning that one must rely both on people and on the power that created him. In “Tavallo” the lyric hero says that in every situation – in hardship, in defeat, in a quarrel – only the mother weeps sincerely while others weep falsely, and at the end he asks God not to make his mother weep. In “Gul bir yon, chaman bir yon” each line sets two things against each other, praising unity in love, family and friendship; at the end the poet places himself beside Go‘ro‘g‘li.
