Serquyosh hur o‘lkam, elga baxt, najot,
Sen o‘zing do‘stlarga yo‘ldosh, mehribon!
Yashnagay to abad ilm-u fan, ijod,
Shuhrating porlasin toki bor jahon!
Oltin bu vodiylar — jon O‘zbekiston,
Ajdodlar mardona ruhi senga yor!
Ulug‘ xalq qudrati jo‘sh urgan zamon,
Olamni mahliyo aylagan diyor!

Olamni mahliyo aylagan diyor!Translated in English
