Lyrics
Ey nur
Yo‘limni yorit
Ey nur
Ko‘nglimni uyg‘ot
O Light
Illuminate my path
O Light
Awaken my heart
Qorong‘u tun ichida
Bir uchqun sekin yondi
Yuragim yo‘lga chiqdi
Isming dilimni chorladi
In the dark night
A spark quietly lit
My heart set out on the road
Your Name summoned my heart
Yo‘l, chaqirar
Nur, yetaklar
Ichimda, yod uyg‘onar
The path is calling
The Light is leading
Within me, memory awakens
Nur yo‘li, qalb yo‘li
Har qadamda sir ochilar
Men o‘zimdan uzoqlashdim
Sening yoding topilar
The path of light, the path of the heart
With every step a secret opens
I have drifted far from myself
Remembrance of You is found
Izlarimni shamol oldi
Ko‘zlarimda tun qoldi
Qadamlarim sukut ichra
Meni Senga olib bordi
The wind carried my footprints away
Night remained in my eyes
My steps, in silence,
brought me to You
Yo‘l, chaqirar
Nur, yetaklar
Ichimda, yod uyg‘onar
The path is calling
The Light is leading
Within me, memory awakens
Nur yo‘li, qalb yo‘li
Har qadamda sir ochilar
Men o‘zimdan uzoqlashdim
Sening yoding topilar
The path of light, the path of the heart
With every step a secret opens
I have drifted far from myself
Remembrance of You is found
Sukunat, nafas
Nafas, yod
Yod ichra, nur
Silence, breath
Breath, remembrance
In remembrance, light
Ey nur
Yo‘l boshla
Ey Haq
Ko‘ngil uyg‘on
O Light
Show the path
O Truth
Heart, awaken

A few words about the translation
The translations convey the meaning: some words of the original do not have one exact equivalent.
- Yod
- Memory, remembrance, keeping the inner bond alive. In the verses the word can mean not only a recollection but also a memory turned toward God.
- Dam / nafas
- Dam - a moment, an instant, and in a poetic context also breath. Nafas - breath, an inhalation; the two images deliberately echo each other.
- Haq
- Truth, the True. In the Islamic tradition al-Haqq is one of the Divine names. The translations keep the address “O Truth”.
- Ko‘ngil / dil
- Both words are tied to the heart, but their shades differ: ko‘ngil embraces a person’s whole inner world, dil is the heart and its deepest feeling.
- Taslim bo‘lish
- Literally - to surrender, to submit, to give oneself over. In the line about love the Russian translation says “humble self-giving” and the English one “surrender”; both are literary choices, not the only meaning.
- Sukunat / sukut
- Close words for silence, stillness, peace. In Yo‘ldagi Nur the ending “Sukunat, nafas” is rendered literally: “Silence, breath”.
