Love
What can I do if suddenly I lose my senses,
Translated from Uzbek · Original text
What can I do if suddenly I lose my senses,What can I do if at times I turn into a child.Unable for a moment to be aware of myself,My word holds no sway over the loving heart.I know how great your faithfulness is,Your kindness has become the cure for my pain.But parting took all peace out of my handsAnd laid my madness bare before the world.At times I went too far, but please believe me,I never wish to cause you any hurt.O my beloved, clean and pure of heart,With you, spring has come into my life again.The world is a field; if we sow the seeds of piety,Loving God with all our hearts,If my Lord shows us His grace, then one day in paradiseWe shall gather in its harvest together!When I remember you, I do not know whyThe tears keep coming, pouring down like rain.O you who have given me the gift of faithfulness,How can I give thanks as I look upon your face!..Forgive me — these ten couplets have blossomed so,The words that hid inside me have grown up.May you never know what sorrow is,O love of my heart, O my heart’s dear friend.Akrom MALIK
