A letter to my mother
Khojabekova Musharraf
If I miss someone, if I do something,
You will come to me, Mother!
Feeling your warm touch
I want to cry, my heart is burning.
I’m holding a knot in peace,
All my dreams are gone.
Your heart vibrates like a swing,
I will turn around like a baby.
Always with your smiling face,
I will have sweet-sweet conversations, Mother!
From the soft words you always said,
I’m picking up meanings, Mother!
May I have as many people as I can lean on
Can’t replace you.
Though worlds pour at my feet,
You can’t reach the treasury.
Without my wealth, without my heart,
My boiling treasure is without ore, Mother!
Your child’s garden will bloom,
Unparalleled Homeland, Mother!
