Activities

As the People's Poet of Uzbekistan Usmon Azim correctly noted, Xosiyat is striving towards perfection as a creator whose «words are truly honest, painful, and strangely sincere, and most importantly, she is a creator who has understood the infinity of perfection and realized that creativity is a divine work»:

What meaning is there in the final sob,

What sorrows does time bestow.

Come, in the clarity of my eyes -

Let me feast on you, sky.

Thoughts flew hastily from my head,

Bringing the night along.

My past life came to mind -

Do not remind me of my remaining life...

This comes from the vitality of the word and the awakening of the heart. Perhaps because of this, almost all of her poems are currently being translated into dozens of foreign languages, calling the reader to awareness and honesty.
