Mavluda Ruziyeva’s Poem

If I say moon

Mavluda Ruziyeva

They said don’t talk, they cut my tongue.
They blocked my way to my beloved,
When I say the moon, they say there is a spot on the moon.
They hung me in the sky of bad!

Put the wine of bad in my cup,
They poisoned my tongue with longing
I’m patient again so that they don’t talk
He told me to go to my grave without you!

I took what I knew to what I didn’t know
I’m sorry I didn’t see you
When you’re far away from me
I felt like I understood, the suffering of bad!…

What a feeling, what a passion,
When I miss you when I can’t speak
If I open up from the rocks like tulips,
I’m sorry if I can’t reach you.

If they cut it off, oh, foreign hands,
Are the roads blocked for you!
These deserts were bright,
Loneliness tormented those ways…..?

Is there a thorn in the flower you stretched out?
Are you as strong as me?
My hair is torn, I sleep in bad,
Is my heart so hard for your love…?

I can’t find my way to you
I cried because of longing,
I took the letter I wrote in my hand,
They threw me into the sky of longing.

I didn’t know what love was,
Don’t you love me more than life
If you love, why did you leave me alone?
If I am the moon, you are my sun!

They said don’t talk, they cut my tongue.
They hung in the sky of longing,
They blocked my way to you
They blocked my way to you
They wrote that love is a burden!!

They cut my tongue saying don’t talk.
Without you, my heart and soul have died..!
