Donay deryasi boyida
Sha'ir: Abdughopur Qutluq (Qazaqistan)
Èghinap aqqan ezim derya – donay,
Boyunggha kèlip qaldim tonudungmu?
Bir chaghlar sèni atliq kèchip otken-
Atilla baturingdin soridingmu?!
Boyunggha kèlip qaldim panah tartip,
Bir sang ümut artip kèchelmestin.
Men changqap yürimen’ghu tèxichila,
Azadliq sherbitini ichelmestin.
Doppamgha qarap mèni tonudungmu?
Uyghur men “bdt” da bayriqim yoq!
Wetinim bolghan bilen dölitim yoq,
Shunglashqa el qatari sölitim yoq!
Hunlarning uyghurlargha yatliqi yoq,
Hayatning erkinliktek tatliqi yoq.
Qanxorgha qaram bolup qalduq ejeb,
Uyghurning uzun boldi shadliqi yoq!
Doppamgha qarap mèni tonudungmu?
Hun, uyghur bir atidin taralghan’ghu…
Bir chaghlar alem guwah, aghzimizgha-
Orxundin tarimghiche qarighan’ghu!
Ochumlap soyung ichtim sorimastin,
Ikkimiz xuda qoshqan qèrindashqu…
Sèning kökuch közüng külgen bilen,
Mèning könglüm yèrim, közüm yashqu…

On the bank of the Danube River
Poet: Abdughopur Qutluq (Kazakhstan)
Translated from Uyghur by Aziz Isa (United Kingdom)
Great River Danube, you are flowing with waves.
Now I am standing at your bank, do you recognise me?
Have you yet asked who I am?
Have you asked the hero Attila who once crossed you?
Here I come to visit you today, bringing with me a great desire-
So there is no other way I could give up my wishes-
Because I am still so thirsty-
Because I cannot drink the wine of liberty.
Do you recognise me by my embroidered hat?
I am Uyghur but I don’t have a flag at the UN-
Yes I have a country but not an independent state!
So I have no status in the world!
Though the Huns are not strangers to the Uyghurs-
Because life tastes better with freedom-
But we are living under a dictatorship!
The Uyghurs for a long time have had no happiness.
Do you recognise me by my embroidered hat?
The Huns and the Uyghurs spread from the same father-
And the world once saw-
From Orkhun to the Tarim in our hands.
Without asking consent I drink your water with my hands-
We are brothers created by God.
When I see your blue smiling eyes-
My heart is sad and my tears flow...
