There's a great secret to living happily,

Translated from Uzbek · Original text

There's a great secret to living happily,Perhaps not a secret, just a simple truth:Even if it's your own child, neverWear yourself out expecting goodness from a person.Mankind is made of mistakes, after all,With trembling in the body, just like you and me.If he does you no wrong, does not despise you — enough,Could there be any goodness greater than this?!.Yes, a human is weak; don't pin your hopes on him,Offer bouquets of mercy and compassion.Cleanse your heart of rancor, and by all meansDo perfect good deeds — and forget them.Akrom MALIK
