Be Lucky (Amet Bar Bolsun)
Poem by: Yusufjan Kheyum
Translated by: Tughluk A. Osman
Live richly even if you are poor,
Be in company with joy and happiness.
Even if you cannot become as great as rain.
Be the snow that covers the ground.
May beautiful flowers always be with you,
May good days always be with you.
Do good to others whenever you can,
Nobody should suffer from pain.
Hope there will never be a ditch in your path,
Support your community with your money.
Let those lonely orphans
Be snug in the warm coats that will wear.
Let the birds sing as they wish
In the gardens you grow.
With your pure heart and soul,
May wealth always accompany you.
Amet Bar Bolsun
Yusufjan Kheyum
Bay bolmisangmu bar bolghin dostum,
Behit ametke yar bolghin dostum.
Yamqhgudek ulugh bolalmisangmu,
Zimingha yaghkhan khar bolghin dostum.
Sen bilen bolsun gulning serhili,
Sen bilen bolsun kunning serhili.
Kholungdin kelse khilghin yahxilikh,
Yimisun azar hiqkimming dili.
Bolmisun ora mangghan yolungda,
El-yurtni yole tapkhan pulungda.
Yalghuz yitimlar bille terlensun,
Sining hamane keygen tonungda.
Sayrisun bulbul sayrisun torghay,
Halal ter bilen khilghan beghingda.
Vijdan kongul pak vapadar senem,
Amet ketsimu bolsun yeningda.
Remember to Smile (Kulup Khoy)
Poem by: Yusufjan Kheyum
Translated by: Tughluk A. Osman
Remember, even if old friends walk by without a glance,
Greet them with a happy face and a smile.
Remember, true friends will stay through thick and thin,
Loyalty will hold through hardship and through trial.
Remember that the life that gives you joyous sunshine,
Will also pour on you blizzards and rainstorms vile.
Remember, the road to prosperity is a rocky path
To appreciate contentment, endure hardship for awhile.
Remember the friends that toiled with you to plant the tree
When the day comes to pick the fruits off with style.
Remember most of all, no matter what comes to pass
Visiting your friends and showing respect will be worthwhile.
Kulup Khoy

Dostlar seni meyli taxlap ketsimu,
Uqiraqkhanda salam khilghin kulup khoy.
Kim eskhatar kun quxkende bexinggha,
Hekhikhi dost khandakh bolar bilip khoy.
Seni qeksiz xatlandurghan turmuxning,
Borini bar yamghuri bar korup khoy.
Mangghan yolung daim sening tuz bolmas,
Khattikhqilikh derdinimu korup khoy.
Korgen kunung daim sening bar bolmas,
Khattikhqilikh derdinimu korup khoy.
Ketmen qapkhan kunlerdiki dostlarni,
Jigde khakhkhan kunlerdimu tonup khoy.
Heyt ayemde ehval sorap hal sorap,
Kongul izdep oylirige berip khoy.
