So very many people think of a promise
Translated from Uzbek · Original text
So very many people think of a promiseAs if it were opium or hashish.That's why, saying “rest easy,” they alwaysStart handing out promises at once in every affair.“Don't get nervous, don't be angry,Calm down, here's a promise — take a puff for a while!”Or, making you drunk on the wine of promises,They vanish without a trace, the rascals!Yet in truth a promise is a sword,Ready to cut off your head if you don't keep it!How many are unaware they are walking around headless,Their chests coated in layer upon layer of rust…Akrom MALIK
