Wisdom
In this world there are many kinds of wonder,
Translated from Uzbek · Original text
In this world there are many kinds of wonder,Plain is the not-knowing of many who claim to know.Forever glimpsing the truth all of a sudden,Your tongue is struck dumb, your mind amazed.For instance, a two-faced son of man —A two-headed dragon is better than him —For the dragon’s doings are clear to you,But the two-faced one’s intent you never know.The dragon’s two heads are there in plain sight,It cannot go about hiding one of them from you.Nor will it ever shed crocodile tears,Nor declare its love beyond all measure.But the strangest moments of wonder,When reason’s word is lost in an instant,Are when the second faceOf two-faced hypocrites is laid bare.Akrom MALIK
