Madinabonu, an Uzbek poet, eulogises a teacher in this poem – exclusively for Different Truths.
The gardens become fallen leaves, If it has no gardener, The wolf appears in the flock, If there is no brave shepherd The caravan would confuse, If it has no leader, The feeders would wither, If it has no farmer The teacher is our gardener, Even our leader and farme Only our parents, Are equal to him.
