Nature
If snow does not fall in winter, if the cold does not come,
Translated from Uzbek · Original text
If snow does not fall in winter, if the cold does not come,If in spring the poppies do not open their eyes,If the seasons find no right upon the earth,If nature's workings are suddenly disrupted!Why are you astonished, O man,When you yourself have wholly ruined your own affairs —In a time when the sultan has forgotten his sultanship,And the slave does not know who he is!When men renounce the name of men, alas,And though woman rebels against womanhood,Give thanks that there is still life in the world,That the heavens still turn upon their wheel!Akrom MALIK2019
