Alas! You are like a stone — water does not cling to you,

Translated from Uzbek · Original text

Alas! You are like a stone — water does not cling to you,A thousand regrets for your nature, and regret once more!Why do you forever urge toward humiliation,Why do you want to be God, O Ego!Stop praising yourself, O rejected one,To praise Himself is Allah's affair!You are so headstrong that upon your natureEven a rain of misfortune would have no effect...Akrom MALIK2019

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,
