Life
I accept. This is what dying while alive means —
Translated from Uzbek · Original text
I accept. This is what dying while alive means —Giving up the soul was full of torment, what can I do?..My God, let Your servant die without suffering,Let me reach my destination lightly, without pain.First they plunged the blade of words in deep,Just as the angel of death swings his blade.All peace was lifted out of life,Dreams and pretenses were lost at once.Then, as if they were burying me in a dark grave,One by one my friends and dear ones left me.Perhaps calling one another to patience,Perhaps they built palaces and citadels of words.In their hands is the legacy we left behind,In neither world will they give it up.In a little while they will be happy without us,In a little while complaint and protest will grow old.As for us, we came to life in another world,But its door is closed to you.One day, when you are left in nameless grief,You will have no choice but to remember the day we died!..But do not forget, the truth stands firm forever,Sometimes punishment comes late to killers.Now it is hardly possible for help to reach you,Never come wandering near our spirit.Akrom MALIK
