Night
Every deed has its condition for coming to be:
Translated from Uzbek · Original text
Every deed has its condition for coming to be:For the moon, say, to grow full and shining bright,For the stars to sparkle and to laugh,A darkness is needed — one dark and lightless night.For the trees to open their buds, the flowers their faces,For the sleeping bear its drowsy eyes,For the snow the hidden traces in its bosom —For these to open, a spring is needed.If you would be the unconquered brave among lovers,If you would live wiping the dust from your heart,Know that the most important condition of loveIs obedience — complete obedience.Love without obedience is falsehood and a lie,And a false love is only aching torment.This is how God has ordered the world's affairs —O lying lover, be gone from the field!
