Mihman(Misafir) Şiiri - Kashgarli Mahmut

Uyghur Helikh Nahxisi

Mihman baxlidim o'yge,
Astigha selip ko'rpe,
Amdi men kirelmidim,
O'zem yasighan o'yge.

Mihmanni khilip izzet,
O'ydin ayrilip khaldim,
Baghlardin orun tegmey,
Qo'lge kepiler saldim.

Qo'llerni khilsam bostan,
Mihmanlar tolup ketti,
Xehini j'erip khoymay,
Mewisini elip ketti.

Mihman baxlidim o'yge,
Astigha selip ko'rpe,
O'zi to'rge qekhiwelip,
Boldi hujayin bizge.

Guests

Uighur Folk Song

Translated by: Tughluk A. Osman

I invited guests to my home,
Let them sit on soft blanket,
But now I can't enter,
The house built by myself.

I respected the guests,
Become homeless myself,
No place left for me in the garden,
I stray in the desert.

I changed the desert to oasis,
Planty guests come for the harvest,
They broke the branches of trees,
Took the fruits away.

I invited guests to my home,
Let them sit on soft blanket,
Now the hold on the important spot,
Become our boss.
