Wisdom
GROWING UP
Translated from Uzbek · Original text
When bitter sorrows take hold of your heart,When the air is never enough for your chest —When a stabbing pain becomes your body's friend,You have grown and reached maturity in full.The moment you grasp the worth of prayersAnd fall into fear beneath the load of sin;When curses make you quake and tremble,When you begin to tell your dreams to the water —Blessed be your coming of age, my dear,But be ready for anguish.Anguish — my eyes that have turned into a river,Each day you will sink into the river and laugh.Akrom MALIK2025
