DREAM
— POEM by
Jakhongir Nomozov
___________
(Translated from Azerbaijani)
My footsteps get heavier;
The more I walk, the heavier these roads.
Hence, I could not know whether Almighty;
Had sent to me these exams and odds?
My dawns get fully darkened;
When I woke up with sorrow;
And, while all of my wishes fell down;
I am, meanwhile, in fire above and below.
Though, sitting alone with my loneliness;
I drink my pain uttering a toast.
If I open my eyes from dreaming;
I fell down from the sky to the dust.
You my dreams, please become my life;
Unhappy days are only daydream ever.
Oh God, wake me up from my life but;
Let me to be in dream forever.
….
