The rainbow of light that shimmered in the gaze
Translated from Uzbek · Original text
The rainbow of light that shimmered in the gazeToday is drained of color: black and white, unfeeling.The outcry of the heart, the thunder of wordsToday strain soundlessly toward silence.The fancy that yesterday beckoned to far placesToday cannot go beyond your side.The rebellious question that boiled like a volcanoToday has grown weary of answers.This being, strained by a speck of injustice,Has helplessly learned that injustice is the way of things.That wing which carried him to black dungeons —Will it now lead him out toward the light?!You have Your grace, You have Your generosity,Were it not so, I would have perished in sorrows.O Owner of wisdom, Able to do all things,Make me pure until I come to You!..August 18, 2020Akrom MALIK
