When God set the order of the world,

Translated from Uzbek · Original text

When God set the order of the world,He laid upon everyone a task to do.Whoever has followed the divine commandIs happy doing his own work.If you take up some task without knowing your measure,But you are not worthy of that honor,Before the whip of calamity comes down upon your head,Even if all the people should cry “Bravo,”If the voice from on high tells you, “Leave that work,”At once withdraw your hand, bow your head and step aside.If the service you have done has been rejected,It means the work was heavy, and you thought it light.It means you made a mistake, O servant,Submit to the command, and take it for the good.Now come down and know your own limit,Carry your head to the door of repentance, and lay it there.Akrom MALIK
