Love
At times you miss me terribly,
Translated from Uzbek · Original text
At times you miss me terribly,At times you cannot forgive me at all.Rest assured: for a lifetimeYou will not erase me from your memory.You will not find someone as good as me,And there is no one as bad as me.You tremble and ache amid secrets,You feel yourself a child.Wherever you go, you grow tired, my dear,Lost in daydreams about me.At times you say, “How handsome!”At times you say, “What a cold face!”You chase my image away,You strive to be free of it.The more you plaster over my outward form,The more you long for my inner self.The time has come: I will answerA question that has tormented you.Play your music, laugh, dance if you like,But your state, I know, is ruined.Know this: you are a distant dream,Like a mirage, like a vision.After all, I am a bird forever free,I have forgotten you completely.Akrom MALIK
