Faith
A wayfarer who was one of the people of Allah —
Translated from Uzbek · Original text
A wayfarer who was one of the people of Allah —They shackled his hands and threw him in prison.They said: “You too can taste what prison is like,”And shut the gate of the dungeon tight.The pure Sufi sank deep into thought,And bowed his head, without doubt, to the Decree.Thinking well, of course, of his Lord,He said to himself in a broken voice:“An ego out of control is a raging stallion,It ties its owner to its tail and drags him.Whoever cannot keep his ego confinedEnds up dozing in a prison, like me.”Akrom MALIK
