The World is one day - Bismarck

Dunyo... degan sahnasida,

Karvon ketib bormoqda.

Shu tuyalar orasida,

umrim o'tib bormoqda.

Magar ilmim serob bo'lsa,

Ming bir rejam ro'yob bo'lsa,

Armonlarim kamyob bo'lsa,

Hayol tortib bormoqda ...

asliyatim anglay desam,

tavba qilib, tinglay... desam

bir utirib yig'lay desam

diydam qotib bormoqda...

Kechagi kun o'tdi-ketdi,

Erta kelishin mahol,

Deydilar-ki dunyo bir kun,

U ham o'tib bormoqda

Upon the stage that’s called the world, I stride,

A caravan moves on, so vast, so wide,

Among the camels drifts my life, my guide —

The fleeting years just silently go by.

If wisdom flows and knowledge lights my way,

If countless plans come true without delay,

If sorrows fade and hopes no more betray —

Still wandering dreams will carry me awry.

To know myself, I try with earnest plea,

To turn, repent, and listen silently,

To sit and weep, desiring to be free —

Yet tears refuse to gather in my eye.

Yesterday’s gone, tomorrow’s yet concealed,

They say one day is all this world revealed,

The truth of time cannot be kept or sealed —

For even this shall surely pass us by.
