Объяснение
“Dardiga darmon istamas” is a poem written in 1916. The same line returns at the end of every stanza, saying that the Uzbek nation must not sleep long in an age of progress. The poet is sorrowful: while other peoples make new discoveries, his own people, unaware of their condition, remain in the grip of ignorance and heedlessness. The poem’s aim is not to scold but to awaken the people. The repeated line makes the thought ring out and fixes it in the reader’s memory.
Примеры
Example: the repeated line is like a call; each stanza brings a new argument, but the call stays the same.
Example: “awakening” is rising from sleep, and here it means reaching knowledge.
