Love
Those who say “I missed you,” those who say “I loved,”
Translated from Uzbek · Original text
Those who say “I missed you,” those who say “I loved,”Who now and then grieved for you a little!If their longing were real, if their love were true,If their hearts were made for love and sincerity,Their love would always have its say —It would not let them go far away.You're in the hands of Decree; is there any choice?Is there any decision above its decision?Fine, you've gone far from us, my friend,You've reached a flourishing garden, my friend,If you missed us, following the heart's lead,You'd come to see us from wherever you were!..So either your love still lacks strength,Or you didn't burn hard enough in the fire of longing!Your love needs training now,Until your longing becomes a calamity upon your head!Akrom MALIK
