Love

When someone said, “I love you,”

Translated from Uzbek · Original text

When someone said, “I love you,”She believed it as a child.And no wonder she saw herself,Poor thing, on the throne of love enthroned.Now today, like a severed head,She's been trampled underfoot for years.Those deceitful words called loveHave hanged her on the gallows many times.Let alone love, now if anyoneSays, “You are needed,” she just laughs.Perhaps someone is needed by her,But that she herself is neededby no one, she knows well.Akrom MALIK
