Life
We said out loud: let girls be accomplished,
Translated from Uzbek · Original text
We said out loud: let girls be accomplished,Let them provide for themselves, not be in need.Let them live with no hardship, carefree,As long as they are not left hungry and bare.Whatever knowledge there was, we taught them, see,We taught them to chirp in a foreign tongue.Let the laws hold triumph in life —We taught them how to sharpen their tongues.The styling of hair, the making-up of the face,How to be coy, how to walk without a slip;To sing songs while playing an instrument —We even taught them the science of leadership.Fine, if she is interested, let her cook,Fine, let her sew — it is in her nature.If she wishes, let her see Paris and London,Let her think freely, let her make her own choice.Today she is accomplished, she is a scholar,She has gained mastery and fits the times,But the science of devotion to a husband,And how to be a wife — this alone she does not know.20. 09. 2024.Akrom MALIK
