Translated from Uzbek · Original text

If you seek honor, flee from the in-between —Do not be on every side, be on one side.Open your arms to the stranger and the poor,So be it — be helpless, be pale as straw.Not dampening the zeal of the good,You will beware the pit of baseness.And never setting down the torch of insight,If you hold the banner of resolve, you will find victory.Akrom MALIK
