Love

If you do not burn, living is pointless, meaningless,

Translated from Uzbek · Original text

If you do not burn, living is pointless, meaningless,To walk about with a dried-up corpse — oh, what sorrow.Death is the continuation of this life, butFace it with love — O Hu!Loving you, I have brought you fire,If you burn, I will let you go from my embrace, completely.I have brought you a golden banner called faithfulness,And placing it in your hand, I myself, skyward,Perhaps toward the placeless will fly,So I may see you burning in your yearning.At times I will come down into your dreams like a bird,To bring some comfort to your fiery heart.Akrom MALIK
