Wisdom

Shall I call time a wise judge?

Akrom MalikApril 15, 2025, 00:47

Translated from Uzbek · Original text

Shall I call time a wise judge?It gives each the verdict he deserves.Shall I call time a wise teacher?It gives each the knowledge he needs.Or shall I call time a mirror?My ignorance is reflected in it.In the hands of time, silently,I confess my own ignorance.How much I do not know!How heedless and how asleep I am!
