Life
If I had the strength, if I were able,
Translated from Uzbek · Original text
If I had the strength, if I were able,If I were rare in reason and in wisdom,I would not say a word about my grief and pain,Even if the Day of Resurrection came!..Like the dumb and mute I would pass in silence,I would swallow the poison of death in silence.Burying all my words inside me,I would await my journey’s end in silence...Perhaps, if there were one pure friendWho felt how cracked this breast of mine is!..No human being would hear my voice,When that friend saw my body as transparent...Akrom MALIK
