Do not think, “I have kept my inner self hidden,”

Translated from Uzbek · Original text

Do not think, “I have kept my inner self hidden,”Your deeds are a mirror of your inner self.Do not think, “I have won with my mask,”It is plain which thought is evil, which is good.The secret of your beautifully ringing wordsHas been laid bare in the pattern of your deeds.The more you try to justify yourself,The more your face is scraped and scarred.Hide your words away, put a stop to your deeds,Be still a while in the shade of silence.If you wish to face Him at some hour,You may come once you have made your inner self pure.Akrom MALIK
