PAIN

— POEM by

Jakhongir Nomozov

___________

(Translated from Azerbaijani)

As Love is absorbed into my body;

So, I can’t help singing a love song.

And, each of these poems that I wrote;

Is an oath I gave to the truth.

 

Also, the sparks you see in my eyes;

Are the lights come from Heaven.

And, the wishes bloomed in my heart;

Are the mirabilis you have never seen.

 

As, my hope will never wither, dry up;

So, spring always flourish my soul.

There is a great pain which is, too, able to;

Flourish my veins and bones at all.

 

Since, I was made from love of The Almighty;

Does the life know who I am, though?

And, in my tiny body, in my little chest;

How much talent and love do I have?

 

Does the life know who I am?

….

But, life killed all the passion of mine;

And, squeezed my heart like pomegranate.

Because, he wanted to make my gentle white soul;

And, to put on the sorrow’s black cloak.

 

As all my hope is becoming weaker and fading;

So, my mountains collapsing down to earth.

Thus, day by day my feet are plunging;

And so, day by day my soul is losing its strength.

 

Similarly, lightning is crashing inside of me;

As if my chest will be cleaved.

Thus, I am afraid, oh my Lord, I am so afraid;

What if the whole sky falls down to my head, finally?

….

 

While, I wandered and strolled million years;

And, million years I begged for calmness, my Lord.

Shadows of hatred crossed my road;

And, million years I did not utter any word.

Oh, the pain of living hopeless days;

Oh, my futile wishes, and flippant disease.

Oh, you wine of love in my goblet;

Oh, love – unconsumed for million years.

….

Nonetheless, I wrapped myself with old troubles;

And, my head veiled with distress again.

As I had promised to cry no more;

But, my eyes are weeing like a heavy rain.

 

Hence, picture of sorrow is in my eyes today;

Like an ancient book my heart is in dust.

My life is confusing like a whirlwind;

And, flowers of my hope turned all yellow, alas.

 

I am awake while I am sleeping;

And, I pray even though I am asleep.

I am apart from this world, and time;

Do you know, where had I lost myself?

And, stars of the night – my sorrow, my pain;

And the night itself – very loyal friend.

Indeed, I didn’t love, I were not loved?

So, my hatred of myself will never come to end.

 

Ah, my dreams take to the memory land;

As I hold a heap of crumpled photos in my fist;

But, if only you return back to me;

O happiness left in our old pictures.

 

Also, Godly sorrow blossoms in my chest;

Like the great love, a poem lifelong.

It will reach souls of mankind forever, though;

With all my heart if I sing a song.

 

Eventually, my soul never give up because of the pain;

Always stay ready to battle, and to fight.

And, with the heart full of sincere wishes;

I welcome morning’s early light.

 

Oh my heart, be pure as a sheet of paper;

As the dreams are different, goals are alive.

So, there is no any space for sorrow;

Because, I call you happiness, new page of life!

….
