Poetry from Umida Hamroyeva

Central Asian woman in a white headscarf next to a statue in a public square that looks like plates on display.

Here is another day without you,

Hijran will punish this sick heart.

A night that cannot equal my dark heart,

What remains are the spaces left by the stars.

Here is another day without you,

My eyes are wide open, close to the river.

I’m still waiting because I miss you,

I feel a pang of pain in my heart.

Here is another day without you,

Today is passing, and tomorrow will pass.

Years may pass,

I always have your pictures on my page.

Here is another day without you,

Trust me, no one is waiting for you like I am.

Waiting is not difficult for this Sabrim,

Maybe I won’t be able to live without you.

Here is another day without you,

Tell me, how can I comfort this heart?

My longing cries are so sad,

My life is so sad now.

Navoi region, Navbahor district
