My whole being is a dream; I learn the meaning of regret,
I can’t bear it anymore – as a skill – parting I get.
Because of my bitter wail the World Castle could be ruined,
I am peaceful at this time, but I know the sense of threat.
There’s no need for anybody to write down my life story –
I discover people wonder, since like Mejnun I change mindset.
Let me read my heart to petals in the language of the bird,
The human race betrays me often – about which I get upset.
Hey Gulbahor, soul and sweetheart have become your dear friends,
At Parting Night, I donate my soul, and completely will forget.
###
Glance
Dark nights follow me,
They will never leave me alone.
The flame of the eyes of the past
Completely burns the shadows.
You!
You are doomed now to the eyes.
You are a prisoner in the eyes forever!
###
Discover me,
I am a continent
without you,
I have been waiting for your visit
for a thousand years
(fog covered the ground).
Pick me up –
I am like mulberries
fallen abundantly
on the ground…
Sing me –
I am a unique song
and a pain no one has heard of yet,
My soul is a jug,
my wine is bitter.
If you break me
There will be a river.
Drowning in this river
is your fate.
Sing me,
I am a broken melody…

No, an ominous tragedy did not happen.
No person committed a suicide.
Weird feelings in the soul though
Not only about living alone.
No,
Clearly something happened to us,
We are happy, for some reason
We are happy…
Although with a firm covenant in our hearts
We meet each other
Once in a hundred years.
The tragedy is that
The two of us
Survived the separation.
Without you,
My darling,
I can live tomorrow.
That is a tragedy…
###
It’s hard for you.
Is it easy for me
To pray in the mornings
and ask for happiness?
It’s hard for you.
Is it easy for me
To look like senseless beauties?
Or
To draw a picture of loneliness
Onto my poetic moments?
