QUCHQOR NORQOBIL

WOMAN

There are forty angels in your face,
Forty-one snakes – within you – you keep.
Forty glasses of poison in your eyes
All of them - with my heart - I will sip.

As the land destroyed by clever trick
Again, I am the dust under your feet.
Plunge a poniard of the fight of love
Into me eyes,
            agree with it.

I fell down…
   But what for are you crying …
You are the winner…
     You should hug the skies…
My soul’s burning not knowing how to die
Because of bitter tears of your eyes.

You are the winner…
But why are you crying?

Translation by Azam Abidov
