Again you show yourselves, you wavering Forms,

Revealed, as you once were, to clouded vision.

Shall I attempt to hold you fast once more?

Heart’s willing still to suffer that illusion?

You crowd so near! Well then, you shall endure,

And rouse me, from your mist and cloud’s confusion:

My spirit feels so young again: it’s shaken

By magic breezes that your breathings waken.

Борлиғим банд этган алдоқ соялар,

Яна бўлдингизми қаршимда пайдо?

Шоядки назмингиз бўлса муяссар,

Ёшлигим шавқлари сўнганми ва ё?

Йўқ, сиз туман каби босиб сарбасар,

Ўйларим чулғанди дудингиз аро.

Сиз билан тин олсам тўлар кўкрагим,

Сиз билан яшарар менинг юрагим.

I’d love to see a joyful crowd, that’s certain,
When the waves drive them to our place,
And with tremendous and repeated surging,
Squeeze them through the narrow gate of grace:
In the light of day they’re there already,
Pushing, till they’ve reached the window,
As if they’re at the baker’s, starving, nearly
Breaking their necks: just for a ticket. Oh!

Қани, томошагоҳ бўлсаю тўлиқ,
Атрофида яна оломон турса,
Шу тор эшикларга ҳар кеч халойиқ
Жаннат эшиги деб ўзини урса.
Ёдимда, бир маҳал ҳали ботмай кун,
Бошланарди бунда ғулу, тўполон.
Гўё патта эмас, оч халойиқ-чун
Мана шу дарчадан улашилар нон.
