Translated from Uzbek · Original text

They said: “Why is all you write pain and parting?Why can you not keep away from torment?”I said: “I am amazed at my state myself,My whole being is burning — that is the process.”They said: “When, at what moment, will you be freedFrom this state? Tell us the truth!”I said: “The pain and the outcry are burning,Once they turn to ash, not a speck of sigh or wail will rise.”Akrom MALIK
