When does the heart become so narrow

Akrom MalikJuly 1, 2025, 00:45

Translated from Uzbek · Original text

When does the heart become so narrowThat not even an “ah” comes out of it?When it is filled with sorrow — for thenNot even a hair will fit inside it.To sweep away the ashes of grief,Becoming the heart's sad sweeper,When no friend, no one close, is found,Your bloody tears will drown you.Akrom MALIK

There are many hard days in life,

Sometimes your heart bleeds from torment. Tasting poison, thinking it is honey —

LIKE YOU

No one, the way you did, has my heart Taken in as its confidant.

O separation, burn my body, if you will, in the fire of longing,

Save me from my ego; my heart bleeds from rebellion. Let me give my life to stay true in my love, O Lord,
