Wisdom

The two are very close — the Word and Destiny!

Translated from Uzbek · Original text

The two are very close — the Word and Destiny!Which Word? Not the Words that adorn pulpits,fluttering about amid applause!Even if you are drunk,even if you are senseless and beside yourself,even against your will, with regret or with pleading,washed in your tears,burning your heart through and through,from your tongue, perhaps, like a pitch-black heavy stone,even falling with a clattering sound — that Word —is your Destiny!Akrom MALIK2019
