| Bilaman bugun ketting mendan so’ngi bor | I know: today you vanish from my threshold, the final time, |
| Sezaman sensiz yashash bo’lmaydi oson | I sense—life stripped of you will not unspool with ease, |
| Yuragim sezib bugun xiyonatingni | My heart, a silent oracle, divines your treachery this day, |
| Ko’zlarim ko’rdi bugun yolg’onlaringni | My eyes, grown old overnight, have seen your honeyed lies unveiled, |
| Inson nimaga sevar va nimalarga erishar | What drives the human soul to love, and by what feats does it ascend? |
| Baholanki va’dalar berayotgan lablar aldar | For lips that scatter promises—beware—are cunning snares of artifice, |
| Muhabbatga ishontirishga undar | And urge us, moths, to trust in love, the flame beyond our grasp, |
| Nima o’zi u muhabbat bahtmi yoki razolat | What is this love—pure seraph’s joy, or serpent’s bane concealed? |
| Qani kim javob berar??? | Where is the tongue, sage or madman, who could forge an answer? |
| Agarda sevganinga qilganingda tunda qo’ng’iroq | If, sleepless, you would ring the one you cherish in the night’s embrace, |
| Bo’lsa band so’ngra esa xizmat so’ngra esa minglab xayollar | And duty answers, then more tasks, then multitudes of phantom dreams arise, |
| Tonggacha qiynar tun esa o’tadi go’yoki asr lekin qiladi sabr | The night torments until the dawn, each hour a century endured—yet patience is its own reward, |
| Yuragim sezib bugun xiyonatingni | My heart, a seer once more, perceives your perfidy anew, |
| Ko’zlarim ko’rdi bugun yolg’onlaringni | My eyes have gazed upon the silken cobwebs of your falsehoods spun today, |
| Bilaman bugun ketting mendan so’ngi bor | I know: tonight you leave, the last horizon crossed behind you, |
| Sezaman sensiz yashash bo’lmaydi oson | I feel: my soul alone, without your light, will never find repose, |
| Yo’qotgim kelmaydi afsus kech | I cannot bear to lose what never may return—regret arrives too late, |
| Bugun u ketadi qaytmaydi hech | This day, she walks away—her shadow never to retrace its path, |
| Aqlimga sig’maydi | It will not fit within my mind—this shape of absence, |
| Nahotki sevmaydi endi meni | Is it true—her love is gone, not even embers left for me? |
| Yo’qotgim kelmaydi afsus kech | I cannot bear to lose what never may return—regret arrives too late, |
| Bugun u ketadi qaytmaydi hech | This day, she walks away—her shadow never to retrace its path, |
| Aqlimga sig’maydi | It will not fit within my mind—this shape of absence, |
| Nahotki sevmaydi endi meni | Is it true—her love is gone, not even embers left for me? |
| Otdi tong minglab azoblar chekib o’tdi tun | The morning limped in, trailing behind it a thousand wounds of night, |
| Badani butun lek yuragida qon | Her body whole, but in her heart a crimson river surged, |
| So’ngra esa berkitilgan raqamdan qildi u qo’ng’iroq | Then, from some masked and silent number, she let her voice descend the wire, |
| Qiz esa alo deya javob | The girl, with calm composure, answered quietly: Hello. |
| Nechun kechasi bilan aloqalar band | Why, through the shadowed hush of night, are all her ties engaged? |
| Degan savolga qaysi yuz bilan beradi javob | What face will she present to meet the question I have named? |
| Ahir xiyonat deganlari shu emasmi | Is this not the wine of treachery, poured as legend told? |
| Ahir hammasi shundan boshlanmasmidi | Did not each heartache spring from here, the fount of every loss? |
| Men tunu-kun o’ylab ketganinga sabab topolmadim | I scoured the endless dusk and dawn, yet found no reason for your leaving, |
| Farq shundaki faqat men senga o’xshab kecholmadim | The only difference: I could not, like you, escape the midnight’s snare, |
| Yo’qotgim kelmaydi afsus kech | I cannot bear to lose what never may return—regret arrives too late, |
| Bugun u ketadi qaytmaydi hech | This day, she walks away—her shadow never to retrace its path, |
| Aqlimga sig’maydi | It will not fit within my mind—this shape of absence, |
| Nahotki sevmaydi endi meni | Is it true—her love is gone, not even embers left for me? |
| Yo’qotgim kelmaydi afsus kech | I cannot bear to lose what never may return—regret arrives too late, |
| Bugun u ketadi qaytmaydi hech | This day, she walks away—her shadow never to retrace its path, |
| Aqlimga sig’maydi | It will not fit within my mind—this shape of absence, |
| Nahotki sevmaydi endi meni | Is it true—her love is gone, not even embers left for me? |
