Faith
About an old truth, let me tell you
Translated from Uzbek · Original text
About an old truth, let me tell youSomething — listen closely, my dear.Whatever is new and has not been testedWill surely let you down, know this, my light.The unfading truth is this: whoeverDoes not acknowledge the Truth, turns his face from it,Is without any doubt like Satan,No advice or word will have effect on him.Taking his ego for a god, obeying it,He keeps sinking deeper into the sea of rebellion.Disaster accompanies him at every step,Calamity whirls above his head like a whirlwind.But that wretch is heedless of it all,He goes around pinning blame on everyone in the world.When his blindness has passed all bounds,Any advice is wasted, alas.But whoever admits his mistake,And bows his head before the truth —Asking forgiveness like his father Adam,Will make the sun of repentance shine in his heart.My Lord, do not let me follow Satan,Save me from everyone who follows Satan.Making me ever a possessor of faith,Bring me safely through the desert of this world!Akrom MALIK
