Wisdom

For happiness, a sweet word and an open face are enough,

Translated from Uzbek · Original text

For happiness, a sweet word and an open face are enough,To overcome the pain and laugh is a worthy deed!A sweet word holds out tulips to your heart,Bravo and praise to those whose tongues are sweet!A sweet word is the delicate flower of patience,Its fruit will be happiness, will be bliss.Whichever servant is gentle and sweet of speech,In his home there will be light, there will be peace.But to have a bitter tongue is a calamity,The servants are weary of it, and God is weary too.The rabid ego puts poison on the tongue,A bitter word brings hurt to every heart.The bitter-tongued man’s luck will never smile,The stones of misfortune rain down on him.Whoever has the habit of venomous mockeryHas stuck his head into the noose of sorrow.Akrom MALIK

I was seventeen, eighteen, nineteen,

At times I feel as if I were left in the grave,
