Wisdom
If someone tells you of your mistake,
Translated from Uzbek · Original text
If someone tells you of your mistake,Don't be offended; first of all, give praise to God!The one who spoke deserves esteem as well,For he has shown you your flaw.For God, showing you compassion,Conveyed the truth through a servant's tongue.Now don't cut yourself off from this mercy,Don't forget this beautiful lesson.When pain torments your body and soul,You hold fast to the doctor's words.Without hurting your body, without shedding your blood,Bad character will one day destroy you.Could it be that you're offended, my friend, with oneWho warned you of your bad character and bad ways?!Free yourself from the grip of the cunning ego,And grace your heart with a visit, my friend.Rising up from a world full of rage and wrath,One day you will come into a heart full of light.And whoever holds up a mirror to you, you'll kiss his headAnd call him “my elder, my guide, my master.”Akrom MALIK
