Introduction:
The Degrez and Oqchi neighborhoods in
Tashkent can be called the cradle of blacksmiths. For
almost a hundred years, they have been casting steel,
melting cast iron, and making various household tools
here. Everything from tin trumpets to lead pistols, from
swords and shields to cauldrons and plows was made
here. Muslim Degrez, who lived in this neighborhood,
was known and respected by all the people of Tashkent.
Muslim Degrez had a large furnace in his yard, where
every two weeks steel or cast iron was melted, poured
into various shapes, then, taking the shape of a cauldron
or plow, he would go to another house. The day when
steel and cast iron were melted was a joyous occasion,
like a holiday.
On such days, Muslim Degrez was accompanied by his
five sons. His children also took up their father's
profession and devoted themselves to the craft of
degrez. One of Muslim Degrez's five children was Israil
Degrez. Israil Degrez had seven children and named his
youngest Zulfiya. Zulfiya's childhood was spent in this
working environment, in a house where steel was a
common thing. To her, her father was such a skilled
metalworker that it seemed to her that he could even
cast dolls out of steel. She would follow her father
around the stove and plead, "Dad, make me a doll!" Her
thin, black-skinned father, who made various tools and
implements by scattering sparks from molten steel,
seemed to her like a hero from a folk tale.
Every profession has its own character.Degrez are
usually taciturn, iron-willed, and resilient people. In

addition to these qualities, Israil Degrez had a number
of other qualities. He was a person who was devoted
to his craft, had a kind heart, a clear vision, and a
progressive outlook. He raised his children to be
honest, hardworking, and people who lived in the
interests of the people. His eldest son Ismail studied at
the University of the Eastern Peoples in Moscow and
worked in responsible positions. Kadir also became
one of the organizers. He continued his father's
profession until his retirement, working in a factory-
foundry. Normat Israilov was a major statesman of the
1930s. Zulfiya received her first life lessons from her
parents and brothers.
On winter evenings, the whole family would gather
around the fireplace, and Aunt Khadicha would read
poems. She knew so many poems by heart, and she
recited them with a wonderful recitation and
excitement. “I first heard the poems of Navoi, Bedil,
and Fuzuli from her,” said Sister Zulfiya. “I st
ill know
many of their lines thanks to my mother. My mother
especially loved Fuzuli’s epic poem “Layli and Majnun.”
This love was inherited from my mother. But I am sure
that my mother, an ordinary woman who never went
out on the street, instilled in me a sense of magic for
words that can create miracles, open the world to the
eyes, and lead a person to beauty... For my father, no
task was too big or too small. She had powerful golden
hands and a generous heart. I still dream of being like
my father, but, no way, getting into a person's heart is
more difficult than working with iron; not everyone can
ignite a heart like lightning." Soon after, Zulfiya
graduated from school and in 1935 entered the
postgraduate course of the Institute of Language and
Literature under the Committee of Sciences of
Uzbekistan. Here she improved her theoretical
knowledge. During these years, Hamid Olimjon also
served at the Institute of Language and Literature.
Whenever he met Zulfiya, he was interested in her
work and gave her various advice. Each meeting
brought them closer and began to sow the seeds of
love in each other's hearts.
1935 entered their lives as a happy date.On July 23 of
the same year, fate tied the life ties of the two poets
together for life. At that time, Hamid Olimjon was a 26-
year-old young man, the author of five books of poems
and stories, a famous poet, a diligent scholar, and a
mentor for young poets. He became not only a
husband and friend for Zulfiya, but also a figure of
unparalleled importance in her creative destiny. 1936.
Outside, a thick white carpet of snow lay. Hamid
Olimjon, seized by childhood, invited Zulfiya to the
street, to go sledding. The lack of a sled could not
change the poet's mind. He grabbed Zulfiya by the
whole length of his coat and dragged her along the
white street, shouting and shouting.
During those happy years spent with the poet,
Zulfiyakhanim saw that any talent should be sharpened
by constant work, and a true artist should have great
work discipline. Hamid Olimjon would work at home
from 6 to 11 o'clock in any conditions, then read his
work aloud, the ink of which had not yet dried, and
check how it sounded. Zulfiya would review each of her
poems with her eyes, but Hamid Olimjon would not just
write these poems, but would show and explain the
strong and weak lines in them. A great poet, a possessor
of rare human qualities, Hamid Olimjon became an
example for Zulfiya in everything. She learned from the
great poet how to think, work and write poetry, how to
be kind to friends and cruel to enemies, and she was
educated in his creative school.In this sense, Hamid
Olimjon became a harmonious companion and sensitive
advisor to Zulfiya's heart.
All happy people are similar to each other. A happy
person pours out the crystal feelings of his soul to a
sincere lover or mistress. Both Zulfiya and Hamid
Olimjon did not spare the heart's heart, the taste of
love, for each other in those bright years. This was a
union of two poets based on mutual respect and love.
During this period, Zulfiya's work was a small stream
emerging from the snowy peaks of spring. As days,
months, and years passed, it was inevitable that this
stream would turn into a huge river.
Sunday was a truly relaxing and restful day for Hamid
Olimjon and his family. On this day, the poet did not take
up a pen, and the women did not engage in heavy
household chores. Usually, he would get up early and go
to the market with Zulfiya, carefully select and buy the
necessary products for his daily life. Then he would go
out into the street, get on the first tram that came, and
go out of town. Such Hamidon walks would not pass
without Zulfiyakhanim. One of such trips that Hamid
Olimjon and Zulfiya took to the "embrace of nature" was
a tulip walk in the spring of 1936. A year later. Hamid
Olimjon, remembering the seconds of that walk, wrote
one of his gentle poems:
In the most blooming youth of my life,
You opened up in my heart's garden.
Then my eyes saw spring,
Then my heart recognized the dawn.
Birds are flying, they are connected to my soul,
I am drunk with the height of love,
I stayed in the field with the day,
I got lost in the tulip fields.
I picked flowers in my arms
And brought them and gave them to you

I still remember them like yesterday
I remember every second, every moment.
Since then, shoot them on my tongue,
Since then, shoot them on my tongue.
In the most blooming youth
You opened up in the garden of my heart.
Hamid Olimjon spent the fall of 1936 on the shores of
the Black Sea. This was his first trip without Zulfiya
after the wedding. That is why he often remembers his
beloved wife, who remained in the sunny country with
their unborn child, misses her, and writes poems
dedicated to her.
Zulfiya, who was unable to share her feelings with her
beloved for the first time, dreams of strange events.In
her dream, Hamid Olimjon abandoned his promise,
found another lover, and turned his back on her.
In response to Zulfiya's letter describing this dream,
the poet writes the poem "Nights Will Pass in Your
Dreams":
This is a dream, a vain dream,
After all, it seems like a deceiver.
Is it possible that your beloved
Has broken his promise?!
And let this truth burn in the fire,
Let grief fall on the head like rain.
The world I live in is a lie,
I swore: I am not a man.
These words of Hamid Olimjon erupted from the deep
layers of the poet's soul. Indeed, he lived on the shores
of the Black Sea with the thought of his beloved.
You were in my mind for a long time,
I went to the shore in search of you.
On a night when the hungry waves were boiling
I begged the moon to find me...
This tone, this feeling of longing resounds in the poems
written by the poet at that time. Hamid Olimjon lives
not only with the love of his lonely soul, but also with
the love of his unborn child. In his dream, he becomes
the father of a son as sweet as a mare. His liver, like a
winged mare, flies over the boiling waves and
disappears from his sight. No matter how much the
poet runs in her footsteps and enters the hungry
waves, she does not give him a catch.
The poet Zulfiya, who lived an exemplary life during the
years of independence and carried out extensive social
activities, was highly respected and honored for her
unique talent, love for the Motherland, noble human
qualities, and services in raising the spirituality of our
people.The government of Uzbekistan, recognizing the
great services of the outstanding poetess to the
development of our culture, established the State Prize
named after Zulfiya in 1999. The 100th anniversary of
the birth of the honored poetess was widely celebrated
by the decree of the President of the Republic of
Uzbekistan on October 31, 2014 (2015), turning into a
true literary holiday.
