Shamsiya Khudoynazarova Turumovna
Sky in my Chest 

I will only sing to you, 
Hazan drew my heart. 
May my sad lines smile, 
Writing my heart because it was written. 

I look at you from my poems, 
My broken smile slipped from my lips. 
I look forward to the days I have seen 
I will find a way to every awake soul. 

Dead minds don't know me 
Anyway, he goes to his carelessness. 
They feel a sense of pride, 
Relying on malice and ignorance. 

The strangeness that makes them old, 
Self-indulgent malice. 
The rush of time makes me grow, 
Simple phrases that teach philosophy. 

Years do not spare Latif's face, 
One day my autumn will knock on the door. 
If I go, from right to left like my living eye, 
My living words will miss you!
