The disciples came saying, “Eid Mubarak,”

Translated from Uzbek · Original text

The disciples came saying, “Eid Mubarak,”With beautiful words, and with gifts.The pains were washed out of the teacher’s heart,His sorrows left his face all at once.Humbly listening to their sweet words,The mentor pressed them all to his breast.Beginning softly, calm and dignified,He said: “May my love for you be eternal!If you wish to show your gratitude,There is no need at all to take such trouble.As long as you know what gold knowledge is,Just act upon it with sincerity.And further, knowing knowledge to be a trust,Not letting a speck of dust settle on it,Devoting yourselves to the young generation,Pass the knowledge on — that is the whole condition.If knowledge, shining like light among the children of Adam,Drives the plague of misery far away,Is there any greater thanks in all the world,Could any better greeting ever be found?!”Akrom MALIK
