Love
Since I fell in love with You, O Beloved,
Translated from Uzbek · Original text
Since I fell in love with You, O Beloved,I long to climb to the summit of love.If the arrow Your eye has shot engulfs my being,I long to set the heavens ablaze with my sigh.Without You my heart finds no ease for a moment,Without You the delight of this world is not felt.However many couplets I recite, the longing does not abate,I long to flow along the river of Your love.If my mind knew nothing of the world's worries,If my tongue told no clever words,If my heart took hold of my whole being,I long to topple the bazaar of the universe.I do not know whence it came — this passion once again,On Your paths I am a begging beggar.In the depths of my heart there is a single echo —I long to remain with Your name.If You are there. If I am there. If there is nothing else,Neither sorrow nor joy — if nothing at all should come.Even if the river of time should never fill,I long to be filled with Your love alone!..When will You make my eyes clear?!When will You write Your word upon the tablet of love?!When will You hand me the cup of union?!I long to die in Your hands...2024Akrom MALIK
