If everything that's found is bound to be lost,

Translated from Uzbek · Original text

If everything that's found is bound to be lost,What aim, what gain, what profit is there in finding?!Find that which is not lost, O heart,So that a lasting good stays in your hand.I saw that there is nothing that is not lost,Every edifice is doomed to nonexistence.The truth appeared before my eyes like an ember —Only annihilation in annihilation is eternal!Akrom MALIK
