Umid Ali writes



WORD SHOULD BE FIRE



Fire the light in your words, sparkle a beam,
Create a liberty in your every white word.

Be such a gardener and make a flower from the word,

Entertain all souls and spread of odors.

If you chop the words it must be a plant,

If you rooted in its cuddle the nicey must drop.

Be a wind when you tell something, outrun everyone,

It you say words be the sea – never run from questions.

If you wish to envelop with the shiny whole world,

If your dreams flap many times,

Set the day to the word inside your soul,
Grant your soul to the word in your tongue. 

 --tr. Asror Allayarov from "The Gate Opened by Angels"
