Zulfia Israilova is a famous and talented Uzbek poetess. A bright artist, a woman who keenly felt the heart of an ordinary person – a hardworking woman who valiantly fought for the equal rights of Eastern women in society. The influence of Zulfia’s poetry is a true expression of our luxurious and complex era, its originality, and a bright image of the hearts and actions of our contemporaries. Zulfia Israilova, a distinguished and honorable representative of the Uzbek people, a well-known public figure, a herald of the struggle for international peace, is the owner of the international “Nilufar”, Jawaharlal Nehru and State awards. Zulfiyakhanim Israilova was born in 1915 in the ancient Degrez quarter of Tashkent city. First, she studied in primary school, then in a school for women and girls. In 1935-1938, he studied at the graduate school of the Institute of Language and Literature of the Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan. After that, he worked in various publishing houses. From 1935 to 1980, he was the editor-in-chief of the “Saodat” magazine for women and girls, which is widely available in our country in about thirty languages.
Zulfiyakhanim Israilova is married to Hamid Olimjon. However, when they were living a life full of dreams, in 1944, she lost her husband due to a car accident. The poetess died in 1996 at the age of 81. The poet started artistic creation very early. At the age of seventeen, he published his first poetry book called “Life Leaflets”.
During his long creative life, he created about thirty poetry collections and more than ten epics. The poet writes poems about situations that make everyone think and are angry with everyone. That is why his writings are liked by many. Zulfiya’s great talent is recognized not only in our country, but also worldwide. He is the owner of the international “Nilufar” award.
The popularity of the poet’s poems is not accidental. Since her childhood, she was distinguished by the fact that she was a girl who looked at the world with an eye of wonder and noticed its aspects that others could not see. On top of that, the environment in her family ignited the passion for artistic creativity in young Zulfia. The poet remembers her childhood like this: “They called my father… Israel degrez. My father was a hard-working blacksmith. I always enjoyed my father’s profession as a fire companion. There was no one as powerful as my father for me. I used to be amazed when I saw the irons in my father’s hand and spread lightning. His hands were able to shape a piece of iron that had turned into a coal into the desired shape and turn it into something necessary for a person. I still dream of being like my father, but it’s impossible, it’s harder to get into a person’s heart than to work iron, and not everyone can ignite a heart like lightning…
Even though I am a student, I learn Zulfia’s poems with interest. I really like the enthusiasm and love of life in his poems. Although I like sports, Zulfiyakhan is my idol.
Zulfia’s lyrics, performed with nobility, courage, true national pride, sincere feelings and respect for nature and people, rich colors and unexpected new symbols, shake the heart of the reader and strengthen the faith of humanity in the future.
A talented poetess and writer, a keen connoisseur of the human heart, she created works in various genres: epics, ballads, elegies, prose poems, stories, essays, journalistic articles and newspaper reports. Many of his poems were devoted to the struggle for peace and friendship of the peoples of the USSR. During the war, he wrote patriotic poems. He also wrote librettos for operas by Uzbek composers, for example, the libretto for the opera “Zaynab and Amon”. At the same time, she also wrote a fairy-tale-stage work based on the theme of the epic “Semurg” written by her husband Hamid Olimjon.
One year after the death of Hamid Olimjon, Zulfia’s poem “You are right, my heart”. It was written later, and it contains the image of a woman in Alamdi roasting on the fire of Hijran feelings are vividly reflected. The reader is attracted by the tone of the poem. The tone of the poem, whose content is sad, is also sad. It’s a sad tone the broken voice and poor spirit of the poetess are reflected in the poem. I sing a melodious tune opens the eyes of feelings and makes it easier to feel the spirit of the poem. For Zulfiya, Hamid Olimjon is both a dear friend and a professional friend was a teacher. Now he is not. It is impossible not to cry, not to be sad. Weakness of will is doing There are many people around, and the lyrical hero is “alone”. Because his his lover was the only one in the world. Taking his place, the hero from loneliness there is no one who can save. His desire is to search for what he has lost without knowing it busy with The poet said that the world has become pale due to the loss of lovely: “Suddenly my heart is getting old”, he expresses. The pain of a thirty-year-old poetess in the last poem, the poem keeps increasing: “Where have you gone, my heart, It’s over endure and endure. I wish for your conversation, my desire for language is strong.” The language of separation and the spirit of a woman whose tongue is full of sorrows is in these verses clearly reflected
To sum up, Zulfiyakhanim was a poetess with a special place in Uzbek poetry, and as a person, she was a woman with all the noble qualities of this nation. Today, by writing this article and taking a deeper look at Zulfiyakhanim’s work, I am once again convinced that no matter how many conflicting, difficult and complicated paths Uzbek literature has traveled in the 20th century, it has a number of literal Zulfiyakhanim was one of the brightest faces among creative people. In today’s days of independence, their creations are showing new aspects. Zulfiyakhanim’s life and work are an example for all women. After all, his hard work in life, his constant striving for progress, his faithfulness in love, his incessant pursuit of artistic creativity, and life’s difficulties the fact that he does not give up on his achievements, does not lose himself in the face of achievements, arouses envy in the heart of any girl or woman.
