When a wound of the body hurts,

Translated from Uzbek · Original text

When a wound of the body hurts,and without a single tear flowing from your eyeswe let out a sound, pained and weak —this is moaning.When the wave of anguish, not of the body but of the soul,beats against your throat,and somehow the shores of your eyes run dry,your lashes wither without a drop of water,and you bite your lips,lay your head upon your knees,hug both your legs to you,and cannot hold yourself back, anda sound comes out of you, an ailing sound —this is sobbing.If sobbing, on the wing of the word,makes its way into another heart,they call it a Poem.Akrom MALIK2019
